After rearranging my garage and taking down my mobile scaffold shelving that held my Europa parts left me with no choice but to start assembling my crossflow engine. The objective was mainly to gain some space, but also to find parts. Some parts I’ve found and some disappeared, but an oil pan drain plug? Some parts I researched and found online and some I make, like a cold start fixing screw. I had some time so I drilled a hole through a bolt added a small bushing and a nut and done . Thank goodness for the internet for posting pictures of items you need.
The crossflow, the one from years ago with the bad head bolt threads going together.
Crank, pistons and liners, cam, done. If it weren’t for a woodruff key for the timing chain crank gear that would have been done. I tried to pull a gear off an old crank but it was stubborn and maybe it should live there, I’ll just have to buy another.
In an unrelated area, I hate when I pay someone to do a job and later find myself repairing their work, one I caught loose hubcap spinner , one I found 10 years later, in alignment adjustments. I think I’ll post a new thread on that .🤬
