I think the challenge is on Norm

it's coming out - it's what makes most of the rattle on a k or magnum. Especially when you rock the crank to feel for big end wear. They are always really rattly!

Richard, like I said - just about within tolerance for what I'll be using it for. It's not going to be worked hard, but does need to run properly and not haemorrhage oil. Either through drips or burning...

Here you go, First instalment The piston and rings look reasonable, but closer inspection shows heavy scoring and erosion due to being coked up. I thought it was oil ring stuck to the plug, but apparently not. From the bottom end, some light scoring on the big end journal. It's 4 thou out of round and 6 thou out at its maximum. Just within acceptable tolerances for what I'll be using it for. Pic shows cam to left and balance gear to right, which will be coming out. I dislike the rattle from it!

Looking good Sam

I was dead lucky, no Idea when I'll get another good day.

Ahh sooty vans once did a joke eBay listing on my mates Bedford rascal... I'll only race you for wheel horses, and then DJ will no doubt beat me to them

Hi rob, A few miles north of me in skipton I'm actually in Scarborough today and off up to Whitby in an hour! Glad to have another northerner, are you a Yorkshire boy or teesider then? Mark

Some of you may remember me acquiring the engine for bendy from a Toro greensmaster mower at Mallory park a year ago. It was well used and cheap at £50... It started and runs ok, but it's clear it needs some attention due to the oil burned and dripped on the floor. When I pulled the head last year it looked like this! And upon changing the oil I got this! So armed with the knowledge it runs ok, but is a little tired I ordered a rebuild kit from the states. It was better value than from the UK - even including shipping and tax. I basically got everything but the valves. So here's the thread, with the engine starting on the bench With tinwork and ancillaries removed Flywheel removed - after make a small puller And head.... It's not got any better since I last checked!

Given by your first guess, your prize is probably a slap from Pam

it's bendys sump plug, with a lot of metal on it

Right with engine norm....

Hey, Welcome to MoM, where abouts are you? mark
