500 engine strip
mickwinf:
well I received my selectors from the US, I actually ordered 350 k items as the one I wanted is the same. It turned out to be in good condition, although another one in the set looked quite worn, so was lucky. I have now rebuilt the bottom end with new chains etc, and tonight have refitted to the frame while still partly stripped as I cant lift a full engine on my own. Glad to be making progress!
Trigger:
Nice mick. Is the engine paint or vapor blast. Spotted a whole gear box on ebay uk last night.

Trig I had to clean the engine the old fashioned way with gunk and toothbrush then wire brush and dremmel, then sprayed with silver smoothrite. Head and barrels will be hi temp silver.
mickwinf:
Now ready to install oil pump, and I have read somewhere it should be primed before use, how is this done?
Bryanj:
Never had to do one yet but you can fill them with vaseline
