For the first time ever, I didn't photograph anything this week - so here's a still from Sunday's video . . . . .the appropriately named 'Oss Shit Corner . . . . you can guess why.
Monday and I managed to destroy the small end bearing in the Bantam engine. The needle rollers went down into the crankcase.
So that will be an engine out and split the cases then . . . . . good job I have a spare engine just waiting to go in.
Treated myself to a curry at The Railway later on.
Tuesday and I was going to remove the Bantam engine - but it was too cold for my liking.
