Does anybody have any recommendations for re boring, crank grinding service etc in the West Yorkshire / Greater Manchester area?
There appears to be quite a few advertising but would prefer go on personal recommendation.
Thanks.

Thanks for the replies, it looks like I am on the right lines. I will locate the passages as described and remove the original bungs. Is there a specific supplier of the threaded bungs or are they a standard plumbing part ? I am assuming they will be BSP thread ? I have a set of BSP taps in my colle...

I am enquiring about the procedure for cleaning the oil passages in a 1098 engine block. There are several brass bungs in the ends of the passages which I assume need removing to do a thorough clean. I have thought of drilling and tapping the bungs so that a bolt can be inserted and slide hammered o...

Many thanks chaps. I have checked both faces and, apart from fine machining lines, they both appear to be in fine order. I will hopefully get the head finished this weekend and soon will be starting the same rebuild process on the engine block. Should be interesting and I am sure there will be many ...

Many thanks for your prompt replies, it’s much appreciated. I will leave out the seals on the exhaust valves. There was quite a misalignment of the oil feed holes which I managed to “plot” by using engineers blue and then grind a passageway to suit. Am I correct in thinking that the underside face o...

I am currently refurbishing a 1098 cylinder head which is fitted with the more modern valve stem oil seals to both inlet and exhaust. I wonder what the consensus is on the re fitting of the new type seals to the exhaust valves ? I have spent some time ensuring that the rocker oil feed has a clear pa...

Hi.
I have sent you a pm.

Joe.

Thanks very much for the offer but I have just picked up a part engine today !
It is missing a few bits so, once I have had a proper look over it, I may get back to you .
Thanks again.
Joe

Thanks for the reply.
I suspect that the shaft itself might be worn so it looks like it might have to wait for the winter to remove the gearbox to allow enough room to draw the shaft fully out.
Thanks again.
Joe.

Is it possible to remove the clutch / brake pedal assembly without removing the gearbox ?
My brake pedal has some side to side play and I have been looking at removing it for re bushing.
It looks like it might be a bit of a squeeze to get the shaft out?
Thanks.

Looking for a 1098 engine suitable for a rebuild project / future spare engine for my 1967 minor saloon.
Would prefer complete engine but would consider engine minus the cylinder head.
I am based near Huddersfield but am willing to travel reasonable distance to collect.
Thanks in advance.
Joe.
