Got it for $50ish from warwick, It is fucking good stuff. Fuck that shit sounds epic, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sholdowa Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Watch out for the instant gasket stuff. I siezed my old bsa bantam, and when I stripped it down - the work of only a few seconds - the reason became painfully clear: there's no way an oil pump is going to work when it's full of blue hermetite... lesson learnt!

Spencer Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Got it for $50ish from warwick, It is fucking good stuff. yea boe never paid $90 but thats the retail got sum staff hookups now . Anyway cunt you should stop being so gay and come around to discuss engines, carb manifolds and shit. You've been up here for ages now all of us hams boes have rebuilt several motors between us. Can give dodgy advive or maybe just drink piss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 Pot calling kettle black etc, but veering off topic lads How does one remove the crank pulley? Sieze it from the rear where the flywheel bolts up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 You'd likely need a rattle gun to crack that. Even if you can stop the engine from turning the bolt may be up so tight you just lift the engine while trying to crack it. Still, a power bar and a hammer can go a long way And then a gear puller will get that sucker off because old pulleys are usually stuck the fuck on.

Spencer Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 ^ yea rattle gun is the go or jam up the flywheel and a bar. Best is in the car and use the starter haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 Gonna whip it over to a friends down the road tonight to sort that. Got a gear puller (cheers Dad) randomly in the mail the other day so thats all g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 ^^ What a GC. Sweet, id avoid using a hammer to shock bolts undone or even when when rebuilding in general. Hrm only things ive needed a hammer for are.. Tapping the pistons into the bore (with a rag or something soft over them) To get valve springs out of some heads (cheers UJ for that tip) Maybe crank seals with a small hammer.

lowlancer Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 Fuck I must be weak as fuck then, these suckers were stuck good. Got em all out with no damage, and I"ll replace them anyway. Having said that, it's not on a stand atm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Another way to get the front pulley off (though it was useless to you, so I didn't mention it) is with the head still on, feed some soft rope into the bore through a spark plug hole, then slowly turn the pulley until it meets the rope and then put some pressure on until the pulley bolt cracks, back it off, tighten it up enough to turn the pulley back the other way again, slowly and slightly, then pull the soft rope back out. Then because it's been cracked the pulley nut should come off with a regular rachet or strongarm bar and a gentle pull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike-e Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 yea bro i've got a piston ring compressor and a valve spring compressor you can borrow if you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a big cam overlap or don't catch the compression stroke and goodbye valve(s) auw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8Pete Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I just hold a screwdriver in the flywheel teeth to stop it turning. Is that rough, or not a thing you can do in Mitsis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Testament Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 with the head off, put a piece of wood the bore and then a steel strongback across the bore bolted down with the headbolts. Props if you can break a crank/headbolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 Just slammed crowbar between two bolts in where flywheel bolts, cracked easy as. Mean. My fucking workspace=back of the wagon atm, not much fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Props if you can break a crank/headbolt. What if pistons dont come above deck? Thats what the block of wood is for, the wood needs to be longer than the stroke so that you lock the piston at the bottom and it cant move either way. A steel strop/plate bolted to the flywheel and a gearbox mounting bolt is probably easier/better in most instances though, unless its a real stubborn one or the design means you cant. And of course, it depends whatever tools/items you have at you disposal at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Oh I see ya put the wood down the bore. Thought ya meant accross the deck of block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
