BMP 3.5cc DIESEL REBUILD NO.2

Here's the patient as he arrived in our E.R.

Adrian told us that there was an issue with the original screwed in big end journal and there might be some other unknown internal problems that will need sorting out.

O.K. mate no problem let's get him all pulled down for inspection and see what's needed shall we.

Here we have him all dismantled and inspected, OH dear what a mess.

Well, needs a new crankshaft and big end pin made, along with a new con rod and despite the apparent feeling of good compression, closer inspection has found that a very poor;y fitting gudgeon pin has ruined the bore and the oval piston hole is further proof of something very wrong in this area. So a rebore will be carried out to return this classic English old timer back to his former glory.

OK, so we'll carry on with the clean and reassemble of the engine in preparation of reassembly after the new shaft and pin have been finished.
