I too would like to thank you for taking the time to document this repair job in such a well covered, easy to follow way. :thumbup: :thumbup:

I have to say that I always enjoy reading your build/repair/advice posts and would aspire to be able to explain things in a similar way.

I hope you wont have to stay away from your workshop for long.

Just a little update.

The customer was very happy with all the work I had carried out on the engine.

But a very dark cloud hung over the proceedings.

I had very carefully packaged the engine up inside a very solid plastic storage box, which was then packed inside a larger cardboard box surrounded by crumpled up newspaper. On receipt, he noticed damage to the box exterior.

The picture shows the damage that was caused. Notice the 'ding in the plastic box lid.

Luckily only the copper pipe was damaged, and will be a relatively easy repair.

So if it will not straighten out perfectly, I will be making a claim on the insurance I paid for sending it.

Don't you just become fed up with the postal service that we actually pay for.... :bang:

All that care and effort you have personaly taken over this engine re-build, and they do this...

Thanks for letting us know the customer is still pleased though, job very well done :clap:
