New Engine

Took Friday off on leave to get cracking on my Velocette rebuild. This is as far as I got - new (original) bottom end assembled and ready to go back in the frame. Oil pump fitted, all timing gears in, piston on the conrod, magneto fitted:-

Got the old engine out of the frame as well:-

Need to give the frame a lick of paint in places before the engine goes back in.

My garage. Its a bit congested in there at the moment:-

1913 Ariel TT (front left), 1978 Honda C70 (front centre), Honda Fireblade (rear centre), 1938 Ariel Red Hunter (rear right). Hiding is the 1954 Velocette MAC, 1928 Ariel Model D, 1952 Ariel VH, 1920 Ariel 500sv and up in the loft a 1959 Norman Nippy. Lathe, drill, mountain bikes blah blah.
