Trailered the Moke to Readspeed and trailered it home again without an engine. Time for the mid 80's power unit to get a professional freshen up since it still has original pistons and rings.

Had fun fitting some MS70s

Moved to a different workshop....

I've got the Mk2 cylinder over at HM Gem getting a clean up, new exhaust valve guides. New inlets & exhaust valves. Thanks Matt the Miniman for the prompt service in getting the parts up.
Stripped down the gearbox with a bit of difficulty. Ended up making a tool for the 3rd motion bearing, just a semi circle piece of gal pipe. Just need a couple bits need for reassembly. 3-4 outer syncro hub, a new nut for the 1st motion shaft and no shim behind 3rd motion brg retainer. Finance manager has put a hold on purchasing this week.

I saw the advert for the twinky head on the forum/eBay and almost bid but decided the freight would be a pain so I looked at gumtree and waddayaknow, there's a k1100 engine for sale in Brisbane. $330 including gearbox, wiring etc.

Couldn't help myself! Another project on the list, maybe.

Bought myself a colortune and a carbalancer from Gunson

Just brilliant
I had one carb set to much fuel and the idle set to high on the other.
Really it was only a slight adjustment but good to know I now have it set correctly

Got the motor back in, new ring gear works a treat. Also finally got around to cleaning all the Hay motorkhana dirt off.
