Hello All.
Yes Martyn a lot of work.
The engine I said was good (I heard it running a few months ago) had taken in water through the exhaust.

I took out the injectors to blow it out

but it was solid.
I put some vinegar in the bores,

it's supposed to free up rusted rings and after a few days it did work,

I was able to free the engine with a 5 ft. bar in the starter ring.
Water had also got into the starter so had to renew the solenoid. (the starter was almost new but it's an Indian copy of a Lucas).

Then with an extra battery 24 volts not 12 I was able to blow it out and start it ,
![Thumb up :thumbup:](./images/smilies/icon_b_thumbup.gif)
it sounds good with full oil pressure and starts ok. on one battery now.
Sorted out the slew problem too,
![Thumb up :thumbup:](./images/smilies/icon_b_thumbup.gif)
needs a final drive oil seal and brake band reline.

Does anyone know how thick the new linings should be please?
I've driven it down ready to load up and bring home. Progress photos with next post.
