SLUK | Lambretta RT 225 engine build - 2 engine casings scrapped in 2 days

This engine build proved a lot trickier than planned, we ended up scrapping two engine casings thanks to leaks and damage to the casings.
Building 60-year-old engines isn't always as straightforward as it should be. Read all about it on ScooterLab.UK

The second case might be savable with decent welding?

[@ScooterLabUK]

It will.

How come there isn't shit everywhere? That's not a proper garage 🤣

[@ScooterLabUK]

He’d tidied up before we got there :)

Oh dear, always that one who did some repairs in the past, and not passing on the info. Having similar frame issues with my SST GP build. (being built on the Kickback Garage channel) Oh well, Lambrettas, another day, another problem. Best of luck Iggy, the RT 225, such a lovely engine.

Thanks, these things are sent to try us :)

[@nickgp200]

Oh dear. Maybe the cracked case might have caused some of the seizing?

[@ScooterLabUK]

Yes I’m pretty sure it was the cause.

Yep I had a brand new 200 Indian casing from rayspeed 20 years ago and I just couldn’t get it to run right turned out small crack on the barrel stud holes bought another case. Fixed the problem immediately,,,,
