fatblokeonbandit Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 A fellow bandit owner bought another B12 non runner complete for a very cheap price, the previous owner said it only runs on 3 and iv e dropped something down the hole so it dont turn over!!!! on first inspection it seemed that the tappet adjuster from the duff cylinder was missing and the bugger was solid, probable fell into the cam sprocket and jammed it, says I. WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well Fek my old BOOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think we have a problem Capn'.... 1 Quote
bluedog59 Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 I think that head and piston is,what is know as, "Fooooooked". Quote
Captain Chaos Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 just remove all the broken bits (including the connecting rod) and it will run on 3. #firstworldproblems Quote
Oilyspanner Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 I'm trying to be positive - hmmm, the other cylinders seem to have been running okay Quote

boilerdude Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 also block the jets on #2 so you dont just have fuel running into your oil. And you're all set. Quote
Gixer1460 Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 F**kin excellent - haven't seen one Fubar'd that well for a few years - that underside piston picture is priceless! Quote
fatblokeonbandit Posted May 1, 2017 Author Posted May 1, 2017 Found the missing bits.. one liner is scored to buggery, but i have some spare from another engine, and as the wifes in I cant use the new over to heat them and remove them so had to use the press, Quote
Oilyspanner Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 That's one box ticked FBOB ! I love the photo of the sump - tappet adjuster found and you can see the pattern from the underside of the piston !! What's the plan ? - check trueness of crank, replace conrod ,piston and fit dot head ? and FBOB's your Uncle ! Quote
fatblokeonbandit Posted May 1, 2017 Author Posted May 1, 2017 As this is a no budget rebuildThe plan is flush the cases for several hours with parts washer, see if it all spins OK, slap another piston in and cobble it back together with another head from the shed and fire it up.. 1 Quote
strima Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 At least you found the tappet adjuster, that'll save a couple of quid... 1 Quote
