Yes, finally it's time to bring back Elizabeth to life again.

Daniel,

I can't recall you saying how many A's you have, but I am seeing parts to more than one, at least in outer timing covers. The really curious thing for me is what looks to be a white nylon automatic timing device gear. Am I right about that?

Yes Richard, I made of dense polyurethane and worked very well. I'm gonna take some detailed pictures for you.
For now, a silly update:

Hello lads, after a while it's time to show some results.

I took the last two days to re-assembly the BSA engine, a lot of hard work especially because I disassemble the engine about 4 years ago and my memory isn't the best. So luckly I have separate some groups of pieces in recipients to help. And that's make the difference. :)

Well, the engine is on the frame, tomorrow unfortunately I'm gonna spend the whole day at the police station to make the metallographic test (is that right?) at the Triumph VIN number and I'm gonna have to work on saturday and help a friend to fix the Land Rover on Sunday, but next week I hope bring some news!


*You can see a very rare, imported and priceless tool used to hold the piston rings.

Kind Regards.

Good work Dan!
Is that a car alternator I see up front? By the size of it, you'll be able to run the bike with all lighting on and have enough power left to light the city of Sao Paolo *smile* *smile*

The only problem I can see is that with small fin head and barrels she might (will) get a tad hot.

Yes, it was a "solution" who already came with the bike. About light the city... no, Sao Paulo is gigantormic. Lol.

Muskrat, like I told, I never thought about it before, but the bike never had ride properly since I own her, or the owner before me. I really don't know when this solution comes, and why. And nobody knows about the older owners to try to get some past information, it's a shame.

If everything is ok and she scream again, I'm gonna keep attention on it. :)
