Put together by a crook or an idiot, possibly both. Sadly I saw that kind of work in "restored" classic motorcycles too often. Would find worn pistons and cylinders, bearings, mixed series parts, and the "restorer" when questioned would go off on how good their reputation is. All I can say for most of the display bikes is thank god they don't run, because the brakes were put together just as badly. One customer of mine bought a rare Norton that almost killed him, the failed brakes leading to a badly broken leg, broken ribs and some time in the hospital. When the supposedly "new" inside bike was repaired, the rattling noise "that would go away when it breaks in" was revealed to be a broken cylinder skirt and completely worn pistons with rings not even for the bike worked in. The restorer was in England, and his excuse was the bike was so rare it should have never been ridden. This hardly scratches the surface of the hack work I've had to deal with. Lets just say some people think a restoration is just spray painting over dirt and grease.
That's an expensive mistake. Part of me wishes I could afford to play with cars. But another part is ok with just being a dreamer for 30 years and watching others blow tons of money.
this is easy the jugs you are calling early are for the First 89 hp motor 60 to 61 the others are for the 110 motor you need to find a set on jugs and have the machine work done i do not think the piston slap problem can be fixed and the pistons need to be Balanced easy to do there are corsair out running around with over 200000 miles they are not an easy motor to put together right it is a time burner i do not think that are 140 jugs even around any more the 110 jugs will work they will run warm
I got to call you on 200,000 miles!!! Corvair motors were not the best but you can get rid of the Piston slap if you put the Pistons in the right jug holes... The right way.
@@1mikewalshthe "bottom end" or Corvair engines (crankshaft and cam shaft) under the right conditions (regular oil changes, not overheated, etc..), but the top ends seem to wear out (loss of compress) by maximum 100k miles.

For an air cooled engine those bearings look like they came out of an engine that was running with antifreeze in the oil
Probably so. Those are the most worn bearings I have run across.

This "rebuild" is equal parts ignorance and laziness, and two parts dishonesty.

Dang what a hack job!
Dumpster fire
I was thinking that it's even beyond a hack job.
Damn! Did Shackleford "rebuild" that engine??
Retired engine machine here. Did somebody build the motor backwards???
I think their brain was on backwards and then they rebuilt the engine.

How are "140 jugs" different than other Late Model (65 to 69) cylinders?
Same IIRC
