This engine owes me nothing as I was kind of given it (not strictly true, a lad owned me £100 and said I could have this instead)
It’s kind of complete but missing bits, it’s a a series block on original bore with pistons and crank installed though with a boat load of end float so I am assuming it's been put together for safe keeping without the correct thrust washers.
I’ve had a quick glance over it and first thing I notice is that the nose of the crank is very tarnished, it’s rough though not deeply pitted and marked. Given the current situation what’s the best way to get this cleaned up? Can I do it myself at home or do I need a engine shop to polish it (not an option currently due to the lockdown etc)
I also have a full remote gearbox, my current mini has a rod change box, if I can get hold of a rod change case can I swap the innards of the remote box into the rod change box?
I'm not after spending loads of money on this, it's basically something to do, that said I don't mind spending on tools as they are always useful, what I'm getting at is if it needs a new crank etc then I'll leave it alone
