Well finally after moving house and now having my own garage and workshop setup I took the plunge ans split the cases.

Lots of sludge in the bottom but no surprises really. Gears and dogs all look in good condition. No play in the bearings.

Do these shells look like they can be re-used? I'll just post a few images as they're all similar.

Also, I want to get the engine cases, head etc painted, the barrels re-bored and a slightly damaged fin repaired. Is there a one-stop shop that someone can recommend to do this for me?

Cheers

See Trigger for the work and those shells are not the best but OK to use if the clance platigauges ok

Before I send the engine parts off for acid dipping,  Is this an issue? I felt no play in the bearings when the cases were together but these look pretty worn.

I also can't get that bearing dowel pin out. Tried heat and pliers.

Bryanj:
As long as you have the locating pegs and half rings it should br ok

Yeah I thought it looked like it has been spinning.

There was a mess of oil and crud by the sprocket, hard to tell if it was from the chain or not though. I was wondering if someone else had been into it as there was a fair amount of sealant and it is brown in colour.
