All of the small ends, con rods, gudgeon pins etc. spec up as new, so will just be cleaned a further 5 times & reassembled on the crank with new big end bearings. The crank is all balanced & in spec, so will be cleaned a further 5 times & assembled with new main bearings & this this time the conrods will be tightened down properly:-

Tudor Morgan has a few engines on the go, one of them is a type 4, he even takes the trouble to repair & paint the heat exchanges:-

Tudor has had the case welded, he's done a superb job.

Next stage is to mount cases in the mill, square them up exactly, spot
face the welds, drill to the correct clearance and tapping sizes, then
tidy up the shape of the welds, in order to bring things back to
original.

Then the cases should be ready for the final clean and can move on to
the crank and con rods, ready for bottom end assembly.

Will keep you posted.
