the engine was stripped when i got it.

I'd refit it, when you go to first start it, wind it over with the fuel pump relay out and watch the pressure go on as a just in case.

Oil pumps arnt cheap.

ok nice one benn, thanks :)

Remember it all touches in there, so wear marks on the faces of them will be normal.

ok cool, the wear marks were not major, the scoring barely made a complete circle.

ok so did some more work today, nicked my dads battery drill ( it had some charge) and done my honing. i didnt hold the trigger on full tho as it seemed to fast. and used plenty of oil. i think it came out pretty well.

and also i bought some more pistons and rods, so i took them apart today for a clean. should i replace the little circlips as a few seamed bent. and also what should i sue to clean up the pistons as the crap is caked on well.

also cleaned up the backing plate with some WD40 just to degrease it, and i won a rocker cover of ebay, so that will keep most of the crap out of the head once its done.

i know its dutch.. .but "tandflankspeling" is quickly translated: 'toothsideplay' so me thinks thats the play you have between the 2 toothed wheels.

oliedruk - oil pressure (warm engine on iddle)

and the 'uitsteken' piece is how far the toothed wheels should stick out of the housing.

** quick and dirty translation**

i always use an old scotch pad for cleaning up stubborn engine parts.

What's the engine going in?

Looks good so far.
