now come on Jarrod you been working lifts all these years mate rope bottles make real good threads for these must be about 3/4 super high tensile heaps of thread
The old Otis ones arent as good as EPL or Johnsies as they have a key way machined into them so maybe keep an eye peeled and you never heard this from me LOL

Glad you got it in ok ( I seem to recall reading about making up a puller to pull them if needed)

Paul

Sorry about the pics on that last post. I sent it from my 'phone and I did push the "insert" bit (indeed, it is ticked when I try to edit), but they just won't go in the woodpecker's hole....


Thanks for the encouragement, Swish.

Paul; I is smart. I been on service ever since I came out of my time - no re-ropes for me! At Otis, repairs is the "naughty corner"

I figured; why make a puller I may not need? :silly: :silly: :silly:

I was trying to work out how to use Acrow props when I remembered what I already had.

P.S. :Paul; the bit of plate I turned down was from the pit of an EPL job we modded.

5Kg of dry ice pellets on order for tomorrow. At least I know I have a viable backup plan. Last bit of fun before hernia op Wed.

Jarrod.

love it Jarrod you find this old stuff lying about some times with out doing the dirty work Im still using stuff today from last time I worked on lifts

OK. Let's try this again (and thanks to bparo for fixing my last post).

Yesterday I ordered some dry ice:



Freezing the remaining three sleeves:





Warming the block:




Et voila:





They dropped in so easily, I didn't get a chance to blow the recesses out before bottoming. As a result, I think some ice got stuck, it's only a few thou, but it's there. I'll just nip them down later, no problem.

I have heaps of dry ice left, even after science experiments with my son. Pickup tonight only from Ipswich

Jarrod.

So.....I was able to push it out into the sun, but not back in. No problem; just hook up a battery and stick it in reverse.

It spins over so fast, I thought I would try engaging the pump.


It works......

No more work (on anything) for a few weeks. At least the time off will give my brain a rest!

Jarrod.

One last thing. I stripped the head.



This cannot be good......(they are all a bit crooked) I'm talking about the bit between the precombustion and main chambers. No. 2 has seen better days. Were they ever a spare part? (I don't have a book, will have to see if the same vendor is at Allora again)

Jarrod.

Back in March, I got around to doing a bit more.

New rings on pistons:





One down. The only place who could find bits for me:





I need to find a new filter. This one crumbled:





Had to reuse the tab washers:





Jarrod.

For some reason, the pictures aren't coming up in the order I put them. I'll have to ask one of the mods to fix it for me.

Jarrod.

EDIT: all sorted.

Given that the seats are so badly pitted with rust on this head, I figured I could hardly make it any worse. I'm using this as practice before I get into the Stude (if I wreck those, I'm in trouble, being a sidevalve).

I cleaned up one valve on the lathe a while back, but wasn't happy with the finish. Still needs more which I'll do on the refacer. I probably won't take all the pitting out, or there'll be nothing left.



I took this seat down a bit more. It ended up being bigger than the valve and really wants an insert, but not going to happen.




Jarrod.

The cost of a sump gasket in Australia is exorbitant. I made my own. (forgot to take a picture).
There is always one bolt which won't go in - out with the taps...


Oil pump works - gauge not yet connected.....
