Your skills at plastic restoration are awesome! I am excited to see you build a new workshop. A cozy space to escape the world and do what you do best.
I've been restoring Bikes for 40+ years, theres NO WAY I would re-use old Bearings inside the engine from the 1980's!!! You have it all apart, replace them now while its easy - Thats the difference between a restoration and a Re-paint
I haven’t restored a bike ever but I think you make an excellent point, should be a no brainer, right? Unless he knows something I don’t (let’s face it he knows 1000000 times more than me)
Perhaps Mad-Duk was talking about the bearing you installed at 3:36. You mentioned surface rust. But it looks old, possibly used. Either way, it stood out to me also.
I'm not sure I understood, how did those engine parts fit originally, or did they come from different sources? My first thought was bits from the 3 engines got mixed up.
Only engine no 1 was complete. The others came in bits which is why I’m finding bits missing but I knew this was the case once I started to assemble. I think I’ve got everything now 😅

Well done Rob !! I’m glad the Crank is sorted for you now, closer and closer !!

Acetone fumes also restores plastic shine

Bearings were new. No need to buy new again no?
@@MyRestoration1 that’s what I thought, looked new, but Mad-Duk thought they were old. Sorry mate
