super smashing great! I imagine it might help with a rebuild if you cant remember where bits go!

Very good - thanks for showing that.

I've looked very hard but can't see the crankshaft thrust washers being fitted. Have they already fallen out? :)

I have heard that these engines are hard as nails - not quite sure if adding fuel but no water would do it any good though :lol:

I do agree though,an excellent bit of film.

Incidently,did Haynes have a take in this - simply this,simply that,simply remove this,simply bolt that back - I wish all engine rebuilds were that easy :lol: :lol: :lol:

Fantastic piece of film! Wish my PI started 'on the button' though like the one in the clip!! But then again, a bit of churning before it fires is always good to get a bit of initial oil circulation!
