Another TB42 to TD42 Conversion

[Andyh]

So i had a day off yesterday, i happened to have a doctors appointment which kept me out of the office most of the day, however this was highly convenient as i had to drive right past Engines Australia, so i stopped off to pick up my rebuild kit (well 95% of it) i then drove past the engine machine shop and dropped it off to frank.

The kit was just missing the Finished Liners and con rods which will be supplied direct to Frank when they arrive later this week..

While there Frank told me that he had just finished looking at the cylinder head and was happy to report is was in great condition. All the valves were removed and looked perfect, and now i had supplied him all the new stem seals he told me that after a clean up, the valves would be re-seated with the new seals and the protrusions were being set today.

The block was about to be stripped of the welsh plugs and put in the hot dip, if the liners turn up today then the old ones will be pressed out and the new ones pressed in.. More photos of the machining to follow.

Here is a picture of what was left of the rebuild kit after i left the ceramic /Teflon coated pistons and the rod bearings etc with Frank..
