This trip consists of one step after another. Quite satisfying to look back and recognize that I'm actually making progress. Tom Wiltse, a machinist in Wellington was able to rivet together my terminal strips together. The folks with the Lynx engine have been swamped by their core business, but have been able to start the teardown. It's putting up a fight, two of the pistons came out in two pieces. No visible cracks but the magnaflux will tell the tale. Wish me luck.

Don't forget to get the bare block put in an acid bath to clean out all the galleries. There are both welsh plugs and gallery plugs to be removed from the oil and water galleries before that is done.

..and they are notorious for cracking along the bolt holes for the sump pan...from frost...so maybe not a problem there..

MLU Networking
Guys,
I recently had a great visit from a fellow by the name of J.P. Brescacin, who hooked up with me on MLU. He is heavily involved with the Mosquito restoration that is taking place in Windsor. Now that is a formidable project. Bottom line is that he offered me a collection of Lynx parts that he had acquired. Received them today. Feels as if Christmas came early this year. I would like to publically thank him and all the other great folks who have helped along with this project. Membership in MLU has been very rewarding. Peter 2015-07-03 18.55.39 (2).jpg

Is that a carrier bit at the top left?
You have to enjoy these moments - I had someone drop off a set of carrier mufflers early on in my fix-up

Good eye
Charlie,
Good eyes. There was also a respectable carrier speedometer, which I put aside for a friend, out west, who is restoring a carrier. If there is anyone who can use the carrier parts they are most welcome. I am quite pleased with Lynx parts. Peter
