Drax's JUN Prelude: Papa Smurf edition
finally got it on the stand a few days ago
sump off....hmm suspicious
oh hello my fubarred main bearing
this looks to be the cause, a knackered crank seal
damage to the crank
and block started to melt
other half of the now melted bearing
ah well, these things happen. hence the request for a replacement h22 bottom end, hopefully njord has a good spare i can purchase. i doubt ill find a replacement h23 or f22b crank so ill be going down the stock bottom end and 11:1 pistons i have for now. ill transfer the balance shaft delete over as i can take the girdle with me, plus the oil pump with the blanks and ill just tap a new hole and blank it in the new bottom end for the last BS delete bit.
if i didnt have the gearbox probably costing a fair bit to repair i was considering 11:5:1/11:6:1 pistons but that's not affordable right now.
also need to likely look at doing the ABS delete while the engine is out as that hasnt worked in a while, a smidge weight loss there.

SO!
since the last update i managed to find an F23 bottom end i can use as another Frankenstein build, so 4thGenPhil kindly collected it for me and ive grabbed that from him.
got it home, stripped it down and found the crank is a 55mm main so wont fit in the spare H22a (50mm main) block from njord, but Phil had a spare H22a7 (take 55mm main) in which it would fit, so after arranging a mate who worked nearby to collect this i picked it up from him and i've started to clean this one up instead.
next step is splitting the old h22a pistons & f22 rods plus the f23 pistons & rods from each other, to then mate the f23 rods & h22a pistons together. also, i found that the old block didnt have all of the BS delete kit in place i thought it did, so i sourcing the missing 4x dowels i need for the girdle, before yet again tapping the block to fit the threaded tap in.
HOPEFULLY i may have some progress soon....
oh, and i'm buying a 5g off Sailor - collection next Wednesday. i will hopefully fix this (as its a non runner) and use it as a temp daily instead of the dizeasel

put the bottom end together enough to move the pistons
then plopped on some oily playdoh for claying the top end, just one piston
i did get the head on after this but i was tired by this point, i'll do more soon.
