My model K engine is back from rebuild, and it looks really good.
|
Before, a rusted out and seized engine. |
As good it looks on the outside, more important is the inside. All the components like, generator, fuel pump, oil/water pump, carburetor and starter has been completely dissasembeled and rebuild. New valves and seat, new pistons, rings and bearings. Bad cylinders has been sleeved and correct vintage wiring.

Like a new engine |

Pre-war CC engines have a deeper blue than post-war. |
|
Wiring with thumbscrews. |

Looks real nice.. very clean.
Yes Bjorn - l had a confirmed delivery from Mr Van Ness of October 2012 !! Still nothing....
When can we have an update on your marvelous project?
Sorry, but the 1 year hiatus has become two.... In this day and age you need to travel where work is. Will be back working on the barrelback in the fall of 2014.
However, I came by a Riva Florida that I could not pass on. You can follow the rebirth of this boat here: www.rivaflorida319.blogspot.com
Craig, I feel with you. I'll going to shop around more if I'll have a classic engine rebuilt.
