drove to me cousin yesterday to pick up the machined engine & spare block. 6hour drive each way, my bum and neck are aching like mad
oops he left the crankcase mesh in the spare block, meh gonna take the machined engine apart anyway. spare engine has been reassembled from engine bits laying all round the garage. only took 4hours and now i have space again
machined forged engine. he said the machinest had balanced the whole thing at 16k rpm within 0.001g! will never ever reach that rpm but its making sure lol
it should rev alot smoother and readily
clutch
alignment marks. edge of the PP was shaved cos it was close to the starter ring
balancing holes on fly
machined flywheel for the 200mm PP
helix 200mm clutch
some resin and organic furr exposed
helix 200mm PP

resume disassembly in few days but for now i'm busy driving to scotland tomorrow, new years on weekend and news that my m8 has destroyed his Megane diesel (oil was pure sludge and rings have gone) means that i'm gonna look for a micra for him in few days, introduce him to the micra scene
saw few good ones in autotrader. his budget is £1k max, cheaper the better cos he's skint. i'm mainly focusing on the torquier 1.3, preferably preface and saw afew slx & sr's from £500-990
