Could anyone help Roger with his JAP engine repair please?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I'm currently doing up a Model 2S and interested in comparing notes with someone who has done it before.
It seems parts are difficult to locate in Australia for them. Its needed an exhaust valve (made from a Morris 1000 valve) and also has excessive play in the big end bearing (crank is OK). The only bearing I can locate with close dimensions is a Villiers but it will necessitate grinding the crank and doing something with the tang as it will not line up. The Villiers bearing is also too wide but it can be machined down.
Would appreciate any leads in the UK if possible...
Regards, Roger Dalton
