The Classic Machinery Network

The previous owner had taken the cylinder head off (9 months ago), thought the problem is "un axe de piston qui a du jeu", my youngest daughter said "the piston wants to play" but the jury concluded (roughly translates to) "the piston pin has a lot of play". I think that a/several Gudgeon pin is loose/circlip problem. Other things as well I expect.
Well I intend to try and replace the damaged/worn parts in the existing engine (with my very limited knowledge and equipment), expect me back on the forum on a regular basis for help and information (updates), when my day job allows.

If you don't get an answer here try the Leyland/Nuffield tractor forum, or the classic section of the British Farming Forum.

Will try them also.
Many thanks Essexpete
