Bernies engine.
500bernie dropped his engine off with me today.
think you are all going to be surprised when the pictures are uploaded of
the engine build.he has spent many many hours in various hotels polishing.

pistons came up well in the ultrasonic cleaner

Nice work on the Pistons Martin, the fact that they were dirty and black was bothering me. (I think I must have caught OCD off the missus)

I am really looking forward to this thread.

Cheers
Bernie

I'm looking forward to this thread too..

I've seen some of Bernie's beautiful polished engine bits and I reckon it will look superb after Martin has worked his magic

is this the 300 lump?

Hi Ben.
It is

Excellent, are you getting it on a dyno?

I most certainly will

Now that is shiny

cool, I am certainly interested in what these actually put out. When do you think you'll get in on the dyno?

No idea Ben.

I will try and get it together at a faster pace than I have so far.

But I think the closest to me will be Mick Abbey.

You'll be able to use the zeeltronic in anger too won't you Bernie

Should allow you to get a bit more out of the 300 kit.

Dan

are them lube holes at the front of the pistons

Hi Dan....afraid I wont be able to as I sold it on to Bob to liberate some cash when the project stalled (due to lack of funds)

Hi Fred....I think you are (but they are Wisco 61mm ones off an RGV), Martin may post a photo of one next to a standard one, they look very different.

they are lube holes.
I can sort a standard piston and photo them together,
once I stop playing with my new ultrasonic cleaner
