Let the rebuild begin
Story so far for those that maybe interested.
Picked up a D4 from Charlie on here a few weeks ago as spares or repairs,strip it down last week and can confirm another snapped crankshaft
So made a start
To this engine out on to a stand
To this
Got this ready to start rebuilding it all back up
Rebuilding both heads at the moment no damage to them but want it all new to match the bottom end done one head so far new valves,hyd tappets,valve stem seals,cam chains & cam seals.
Been really busy running up to Christmas so not been able to get on here much lately but thought I'd share this little project with you and will update as and when I can Wanted D4s non runners pm for competitive price.
