Cheap and cheerful motor

[Dave Wortley]

Peter, I have done the same scraping process as Robert. I had decent rods 0.015” undersize bores and fitted them to a new Phoenix crank. It’s a nice quiet job which I did in the early mornings over a week or so. I have a scraper made from a file by my dad many years ago which is ideal for this. They have done a few thousand miles so far without problems. It’s good to spend the time doing things like this rather than hand over cash to someone else. This is the way to learn new skills!
Cheers,
Dave.
