Now i know what you mean about welding the harmonic balancer to the crank, and your still driving it today. Good bit of bush mechanics. Catch up in the new year.
Despite the emotional roller-coaster, great to see the 'make it work ', can do attitude, really cool to see. Sure, not ideal, but onwards and upwards 👍
Extreme repair. The beauty of the old design how things can be jury-rigged. Probably won't do the crank much good, lol. Let us know if you need a hand anywhere.
Yep, it was an extreme repair. The next choice was to change out the engine, but then I would have left this engine behind. So this was the quickest way of getting back on the road and not lose the engine. Yes the crank and bottom end bearing would not be very healthy. But looking at new engine conversion for Minty. Thanks for the support
