Re: RE: Re: TV175 1963 strip and rebuild
Those are casting marks. What should concern you is that it was blasted all assembled. You now have glass grit everywhere and may damage parts when it comes apart for additional (correct) cleaning. No concerns at all as all parts go into the tank before and after for about 30 mins and that removes ...

Re: TV175 1963 strip and rebuild
I think I saw cleaning fluid seeping out of the "crack" but It could simply have been fluid tracking along. I suspect it's cracks as it's from a corner which is a typical stress point. However, casting marks are a possibility as they look uniform though the surface is smooth. http://upload...

Re: TV175 1963 strip and rebuild
Thanks Gary... list of required spares made. I started with the engine today.. it was in a right state so decided to clean it up first. Luckily I have a large ultra sonic tank so it makes quick work of the dirt and grime. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161227/2ab1efb5ef1e0e7683841fff6ef1ea7b.jpg ...

Re: TV175 1963 strip and rebuild
Yep exactly! Bowers bore gauges and access to some nice toys at work.

Re: TV175 1963 strip and rebuild
I stand corrected... the piston has not been replaced and is the original Borgo piston at 62mm.
I checked the piston and bore dimensions and it's fine.. piston is 61.90-61.95 and the bore is at 62.025
