Covers etc

Although I haven't been blogging much of late, things have been happening (apart from liner measuring)

I thought that I had better show a little bit more of the progress.

The next string of shots are really before and after shots. Before being, various components wire brushes and cleaned ready for painting. The after being similar shots of the same components with paint on them.

First up is the 'Airbox'. This sits on the side of the block and is the common air filter box for all three cylinders. The individual intakes for each cylinder draw air out of one of the three elongated slots. The multiple slots face downward toward the bottom of the engine. The Airbox is another component which I found the engine number stamped on it. Each of the outlets were also stamped 1, 2 & 3 respectively as well. The two studs sticking out of the side of the box are for mounting the fuel filter on.

The frame below is located inside the Airbox and (allegedly) holds the wad of horse hair together.

I think I'll cheat and use moderns synthetic filter material.

Next up is a few cover plates. Top left in the photo is the crank end cover for the non flywheel end. Top right is an inspection plate for the governor casing. The bottom two are blanking plates for cylinders 1 & 3, waterside of the block.

Next up are a series of pictures showing the cylinder block inspection doors. Obviously one door on either side of the engine. One having the oil filler point.

At some point in time I'm going to have to make joints for all of these various covers. Break out the Klingerite and wad punches!
