First dibs?

Any chance of a pic to show the rebuilt engine? Has it been rebored and has it had a new flywheel ring-gear?

Cheers

Can you tell me if the waterpump sidevalve engine has the same crankshaft as the non waterpump one?

The early and late engine crankshafts are the same but are different from the Morris 8 crank which has no counter balance weights and also have a different rear oil seal to the WD generator crankshaft
