Re: Assessing an unknown engine

Can you split a case without removing the pistons? Will the case move pass the stuck piston?

Re: Engine issue

Fuel pressure? Happen to me recently. Started well but struggled when pushed on. Perhaps replace all the fuel filters. Blow out pipes. If that doesn't help measure the pressure?

Re: 356 big European Trip

Next we stopped for an hour walking tour in Bratislava. It's local Slovak name : Prešporok. Czechoslovakiaexisted from 1919-1993. Czeck and Slovak were merged after WW1 but the Slovaks decided to leave when they were given the opportunity. Previously it was part of the Hungarian Empire for 1000 year...

Re: 356 big European Trip

The journey to Vienna via Bratislava began at just before 9am. The car started well and we weaved our way out of the city. About 10 mins in Mrs B declared a strong smell of petrol and I had to agree. I pulled over and immediately noticed the newer fitted alloy fuel filter was leaking. Quite annoying...

Re: 356 big European Trip

I got up about 7am and did my first run for a while. I think this was to make up for the very strange Jazz concert we went to last night. The Budapest Music Centre is a great venue with reasonably priced food and good seats for everyone. We got the last 2 seats available. On different but adjacent t...

Re: 356 big European Trip

Well interesting two short Opera's often performed together. I had watched before about a month ago but much better singing and staging this time. Cavalleria started with a real horse on stage! Now that is brave. Pagilacci was obviously the inspiration for one of my favourite Queen songs. It's a Har...

Re: 356 big European Trip

So far Budapest has been fantastic. Tonight to twisted Jakki's arm and we are at the Opera. About the same price for a modest seat at the ROH as a private box here. I started the evening with a healthy bowl of Rooster's testicles! We also had an excellent food tour this morning. The guide was every ...

Re: Old Sckool 5 cc model Diesel engine build

Why do you suspect lack of compression? You to have gone from too tight to too loose?

PS congratulations to getting this far.

Re: 356 big European Trip

6 hours of trouble free motoring (long may it continue) and we are in Budapest. Eating Poke Bowls. At London prices. A very interesting mix of history and new Jazz on a boat this evening. Let's see where the evening ends this time. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240418/0ad37d0e8c5c9e992cc6ad63b0...

Re: 356 big European Trip

AK47 and Glock. Am interesting experience. The last time I shot a gun was over 40 years ago when I lived in South Africa. To honest I wouldn't do it again. I found the power something I don't wish to have. Yesterday during a boat tour we were reminded that unfortunately Prague had it own shooting ho...

Re: 356 big European Trip

Well Prague has been very cool so far. Oil pressure connector fixed. 3 idle jets cleaned. The 4th one was a bit of a pain to completely get out so I left it. Indicator relay bracket tighten. On the first night the medieval banquet was good. Last night got a bit messy and ended in a James Dean themed...
