I have often lingered over the idea of buying a 3000 engine to rebuild. More
or less as a challenge/hobby. And to teach myself how to do it.ie to move
from theory into practise. But these engines are not cheap and they're not
getting any cheaper.
So - and I'd be obliged if you all forebore the temptation to buy it! - this
is currently on UK eBay. I just don't know enough to judge it. Getting those
pistons out seems to have involved something fairly drastic. (Good old
Amatol perhaps?)
Does anyone have any advice..? Is this a "Don't touch it with a barge pole.
It's probably wrecked." Or "Could be a good cheap start point to an
expensive project". Or what......
