Four big end journals means four oil feed drillings so surely four plugs?

Might there be a plug in one end of the crankshaft? Just a thought!

Hi Andy
there are 2 one in each end but they are a different size. I will try and get over to see how the engine man has been getting on today and we might find out if it is 4 or 5 web plugs

I will go and see the engine man Monday or Tuesday...the block and crank are probably safer in his workshop than mine at the moment as I am having a rearranging session...did you get that gearbox from Don?

Yes, I got the gearbox thank you, but have not had the time to fit it yet!!! I have completely redecorated the workshop to make it brighter and, more importantly, to seal in the dirt before I change mode from bodywork restoration to engine rebuilding!!!

I have to paint the last 25% of the floor before everything gets moved back into its final place and then ....... swap the Appia gearbox!!!! ............... and then rebuild the B20 engine, that will be interesting!!!

should keep you out of mischief..bit of a lash up with some bits for the new compressor I ordered some connectors and pipe to plumb in the water trap and lube thingy but the postman brought me a gas strut for a car hatchback?!?!!?! Went to see the engine man on Friday he tells me he has been off work with a bleed in his eye and needed an injection in it..nasty...anyway he promised to get the work done on the block and crank by sometime this decade...
JCS has been back to the witch doctors who have changed his meds abit and he seems a bit more with it so fingers crossed..if not he will have to come and live with me or my sister.
So overall no progress at all with this restoration. I don't want to start creating loads of dust and muck till the engine is back together so Matthew will have to be patient before he can have a go with the sander/saw thing i bought from Aldi
