Small update, all parts aquired.. just waiting for block, flywheel & cyl head to come back from machine shop. Got hold of a brand new set of genuine smallport pistons. More to come soon ;-)

Whilst waiting for some machine parts to come back, thought I'd a least make it a little nicer to look at when its finally rebuilt. BEFORE: AFTER a few coats of etching primmer & heat proof paint.

I use etching primmer followed with VHT heat proof caliper enamel.

Got a few parts back, just waiting to clear some room as to start this smallport rebuild. Got all parts now, so a few weeks this one should be up and running :-) Ah... maybe a little longer, my mate has to completely rewire so it takes the smallport engine.  Found out that Im a flywheel & pressure plate short on this build....will need to source one & have it machined. More to come.

Ok, quick update: Got a 'sandwich plate' in the end, installed machined flywheel, new exedy clutch plate & throw out bearing. I had to source a spacer exhaust flange otherwise the aftermarket extractors were failing on the starter motor. The extra flange gave it an 8mm clearance gap ;-) Engine complete with gearbox, just need to have the body harness loom slightly altered to suit the 4age smallport engine & its ready for installation.

Small update: mechanically all finished, just gotta get the air re-gassed, take down to local exhaust shop for some slight pipe fabrication & it should be already to start the run in process! Thanks to my mate 'Rob' who did all the wiring conversion and assist throughout the whole process 😉. Once it comes back from the exhaust shop, a full interior / exterior detail & it should be sweet!      Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
