well lads the time has come for the amanco to go back to bare casting as the modernish paint job is flacking and lifting from primmer coat in places
as it looks like there was no prep inbetwen coats of paint
and have a proper good rebuild back to as good as possable
made a load of the smaller gaskets up as in stripping her down
exhurst pipe /silencer and watercooled headgasket will be with me in a week or two fingers crossed
phelon coil and kw points with all the wistles and bells on its way from the USA "looks a proper job to me" lol
NEW but old school wiring and also new engine ignitor contacts,crank shimms
plus many other bits an pieces ready for the replacement on the rebuild
and of course the most important bits "primers and amanco paint, decals"
AND A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL INVOLVED IN THE SOURCING / FINDING RELATED GLOBAL DEALERS /AND WELCOMED PART DONATIONS, AND POSTING FROM
ALL OVER THE WORLD /COUNTRY
AND MOST OF ALL, AS ALWAYS THIS" FRIENDLY FORUMS MEMBERS"

since monday ive sripped and cleaned the head back to casting and stripped 20% of the paint from the rest of the lump lol
valves will be having a grinding and then lappping back in on a crappy day , they have a good seal but are well steeped back from the inner original grinding in from new
water jacket has had 3/4 of a dustpan worth of cruddy rust removed from hopper bottom , so that will help the cooling system work and drain in mins instead of near an hour lol!

also on removal of trip level and guvernor shafts that the cam gears were set 1 tooth out of time so that will make me happer about the blowback that i couldnt get gone completly from the oiler now its looking more like timming than excesive slop in piston ring grooves ,external ring diameters are very good think been replaced in the 50 yrs lol!
will stick up some out of focus pics up Sad Rolling Eyes Embarassed when i get a minute for you
heres some before i start the final stages of restoration

Coming along well Kev, it always feels good to me when I take all the crud out of the water ways etc, just gives you the thought that it's got to be better for the engine then it was.

and when its not there the water will get to do its job like the engine was designed for

and tighend them down again
2yrs old and a great stationary technision last week on the wx11 i slide the guvernoir lever arm back onto the block and went to get the spanners to tighten it on , i heard my doughter saying " brum tig tig tigga brum brum pop tigga tig" on return i said what makes that noise "she said tuu toache" 2 stroke
and moved the level on the block and did the noises again
and saturday night she told mammy to "get daddy know i said mammy and i had to come in a she showed me " tuu toache " 2stroke"

Piston and rings look good but I'd give them a soak in diesel to free up any sticking bits and help to clean it off.
You sure have a good pit crew but I think it could be classed as child labour lol! lol! lol! lol!

It's a right kick in the teeth when you have the taxes to pay, had a load of stuff from China and Hong Kong without paying but all the stuff from the States I've had to pay robbing ba5ards.

Looking good Kev, glad to see your daugter is doing a good job, always remember years ago trying to get me son to help me rub down and all he did was rub the same spot for hours Crying or Very sad Laughing Laughing

You are getting on well with the painting and as long as you get the spares you need I can't see any problems why you shouldn't make them rallies with this engine.
You should be able to get the welding done ok as it will "V" out nice to get the weld into it, just remind who ever does it to heat it up first to get a better weld. I had a cast pulley welded a few months ago and I'm not to happy with the finished result, just wished I'd known sooner that it should of been heated first for a better result.

amanco is on a slowed down restoration from today
as the 2nd topcoat is still tacky 4 days later
and still in need of at least one more coat to get the depth i want
and that crack as above is not a crack its been cut through with a hacksaw or grinder as its as streight ans smooth as a lake on a calm summers day ????
so will try to get it done for welland in a couple weeks time or the northrode wind down rally
