Barrel rebored

Got the barrel back from John Dirker Engineering today after beeing rebored to take the new 20' pistons. They also trued the top to make sure all is level after the welding.

Barrel difference

Noticed a difference between two of the barrels I have - the one has arcs cut out of the base of the barrels. Supposidly for non standard con rods.

Barrel welded

The barrel has been welded - adding a new fin and fixing the hairline crack. Will need a bit of clean up then it can go to the re'borers.

More parts

Some more parts arrived today as part of a joint order with my brother - so here is a picture. I will have to wait a while to see them in person. This order comes from Tri-Cor in the UK.

Barrel

Took the barrel in to get it re-bored for the new pistons and they found this "crack" :-(

So I am going to need to make a plan with one of the other barrels we have - they seem to be fine other than missing fins and a crack or two in other fins. See below. Will need to cut and braze new fins on.
