johnnys series 3 resto project

measure it properly first .you cant bore a few thou out

**** mesen laughin if he turns up with a magnetic base drill an a core bit in the chuck.....
but like everyone else, mek sure yer get some piccies of it!

i think this is the eal deal this lads he asked if it were on flat ground for the drain tray and dont worry as its got a built in swarf extractor

sounds a bit technical for a mag drill

I have had loads of cars bored out in situ, we used to do it with a van Norman boring bar. it clamps to an adjacent bore and centers it self with "cats paws" these open out in the bore and are wound back in when the cutting starts. we always taped the big end journal the pressure washed the engine after, a few thou will be no problem.

i know mate i know its killin me trying to get the cash together to get the fekker bored out

hey boys n gurls its been a little while but finally i got the rebore done about 1 hour ago and hes done an amazing job of it i must say took 2 hours of setting up and measuring but the new pistons fit with the manufacturers tolerances absolutely bang on
and as promised heres the pics of this beast of a machine











absolutely no swarf anywhere to be seen due to the machine having a vacuume attatchment with a really big industrial hoover on the bugger

and if anyone ever wants this done i can pm you his number

im gonna start building the engine back up later on today so there might be another update later on but not promising anything just yet

im so happy at the moment i could ****

sweeeeeeeet! thats awsome dude

That is fecking brilliant mate! I want one! Would it be rude to ask how much he charged (PM if you don't want to say in public).

What prep work did you have to do? Just drop the sump and pop the pistons out?

Looks brilliant! I didn't even know such things existed.

Dam impressive mate

No end to your telent my man

just drop the sump whip the pistons out take the head off and the manifolds as they get in the way and he'll do the rest apart from asking for help lifting the machine on as it weighs about the same as an engine block

just for the rebore and honing only it were 80 dabs pie n mash

Feckin awesome machine, I wants one.:hurt: Bet it costs an arm and a leg to buy. You learn summat new every day..as they say. Get it fired up Johnny.

im stillin the process of reassembly ive done me pistons and fitted them and spent 2 hours cleaning the crankcase out wich looks like its brand new in there now and put me oil pump back in then gave up as the heat of the day has took it out of me ill be resuming efforts tomorow afternoon when i come back from the petrol station with a gallon of cleaning gear ( unleaded ) to wash the sump out with and a tube of instant gasket to make sure the buggers sealed with a new gasket or not

and the machine costs a snip at £1500 to buy with the tooling and cutters
