What you will find here: Intended to display minor modifications to my Westfield SEi, this blog now witnesses the two year rebuild (and more) after a major crash in October 2011. Have fun and feel free to add a comment at the end of any post.

Start of engine re-assembly

Here we go: new piston and old conrod, determine the right mounting direction through the arrow in the casting (pointing to front of engine). Lubricate pin ...
... and put it in, secure it with circlips both sides.
Number one ready ... and then repeat it for all of them.
Honing the cylinders to roughen the surface, then set the piston rings as shown.
Rings will not enter the cylinder without a ring compressor.
Tap them in with a wooden stick, repeat this four times.
Cheers.
