Good Morning ODK Members,

The crankshaft had been repaired somewhat and put back into service, I have a spare crankshaft so I used it instead. I am gong to section a Boundy engine to display, I think I have enough unserviceable parts to do it now.

Engine went back together well with new bearings and seals, a light hone to the cylinder and all is good. I have found that there has been modifications to the piston style and cylinder porting over time which I will document a bit later in another post. You can swap cylinders etc but you must keep the piston and cylinder as a matched set. Bottom ends are pretty much the same, having said that there are differences such as early engines the seals are fitted from the inside and number of case studs being 4 or 8 in the Gold Cheetah units.





I mentioned the Victa coils earlier, large and small. Some coil posts are large and some small, I don’t know why yet, it might just be a production cost saving with a smaller coil being cheaper than a larger one. Incidentally most coils are fitted and held secure with thin wooden wedges.



All back together with head left off to do the timing









That’s all for now 👍
