    blimey Raj, how many engines are you going to rebuild? Will you be giving them all to the new owner of your 5, a couple spare incase he/she gets over zealous with a bleed valve???

    lol, no#1 engine went into the last 5 i sold, no#2 & no#3 where sold on ebay.
    i would have loved to keep the no#2 tufftride engine as it was special and ive not heard to date of anyone tufftriding the block or anything else for that matter.

    ill be rebuilding another one sometime in the future and will tufftride everything, maybe nitride a few things while im at it,im soon to be picking up an engine thats be sat in a garage for 10yrs

    Well the rebuild and the details really.

    Reminds me of when I done my last 5 . Many years ago now but really like the piece by piece pictures.

    I wanted to see lots fresh oil over those bearings though lol .
