sidevalvey goodness arrived today.

You can't see the valves, they are set aside

What are the parts on the far right, Onne ?
Are they valve guides ? (I'm assuming the gudgeon pins are the parts wrapped in white paper)

If so, can I ask how much they cost ?
I'm weighing up the cost difference between having them made here or sent out from the UK.

so thats why its a side valve ;)

Onne, the way you lay the parts out shows a deep love of new shiny Moggie parts and a capacity for neatness and organisation- your ideal job has to be working in one of the Netherlands Moggie parts suppliers! ;)

Sidevalve one is a different length and has a different fitting on the end.

hi cam just wanted to know if they are the same from yoke to yoke and if yokes are parallel or skewed, one of the shafts I have has the yoke turned at an angle of about 30 deg or so...

I think the valve guides are £3,95 each.

And John, I'd love to work in one, but there aren't any big enough to supply work for multiple persons

Now for some more shineyness
remember this:

this now looks like:

Here is an action picture showing the grinding tool

Nice eh!

VERY nice Onne. That freshly machined face of a sidevalve engine is making me drool.

I do like a bit of fresh metal in the morning

It looks like you have a mouse in one of those ports....

Engien will be ready in a week. Now to find a place to store it. I guess there is more room in the living room. And I am not carrying it back up to the bedroom! enough oilstaines in the carpet already!

Progress on the bodywork..none whatsoever
