Tearing into my 123
 

I'm hoping for a quick tear down into the engine for a little refreshment. She smokes a little. I'm praying she is within specs and I can get away with just a set of new rings, valve lap, and a good cleaning. The carb already been rebuilt. So far, the piston top, cylinder wall, and head look good, but that could be deceiving. Only proper measurements will judge. Here are some pics, cause I know you's all enjoy the pics. Also... piston has a B on it??

a few more. the dirt on the frame where the engine was is dirt from my grandads. he bought it new and its been in the family since.

i will try to keep the pics movin along as i go. thanx for lookin.

Lookin good!
Make sure you mic the crank! the spec should be 1.500
Have fun with the rebuild!:beer2:

You're off to a good start! Please keep the pics and updates coming.

I agree, enjoying the pictures :beerchug:

It's great that it's been kept in the family! I like see your progress, too and especially the pics that include "Made in the USA".
