THE MOMENT OF TRUE.

Noted !  

Returning to the thread. I was about to mount the crankshaft when I realized that the engine block looked terrible, the time I painted it I didn't bake it and the paint was thinning.


I used paint thinner to clean it and repainted with anticaloric paint. 
 
 

This time I used a heat gun to bake it.

Good to see you back on the project!

Well, believe it or not, I had another mishap. While cleaning and painting the engine, I forgot to close the door that connects the garage to the kitchen and the house filled with a strong smell of solvent.
 In the morning, during breakfast, my wife and children gave me a big scolding.

I have spent a week painting parts of the engine, four months stopped waiting for spare parts and at the last moment I decided to paint the engine.
  Today I have assembled the crankshaft and the gearbox shafts with its primary chain synchronization.

 
 

Just as I was fitting the output shaft to the cardan shaft I noticed that the half-ring shaped part that serves to fix the needle bearing in its housing was missing.

 
 

I didn't even look around the workshop floor as I remember perfectly well that it was not disassembled as it was not installed.


Looking for an alternative I remembered the washer that came out of the engine block without knowing where to put it.

 

It fit like a cake in the mold.

 

So I cut it in half and inserted it into its slot.

 

Problem solved, professional work.



As soon as I have some time to work I will close the crankcase.

Good Job
