I am new to the forum and might not be very good at searching, please forgive me if these are obvious questions.A few years ago I bought what appeared to be a complete 1953 A10, certainly a rolling chassis. It came with a new wiring loom, tyres, carb, battery and the tank which was away being chromed. I later collected the tank, duly chromed but with a 1" dent just forward of the left chrome 'teardrop'.
I took a series of digital photos as I stripped the bike, right down to the colors of wires attached to various components. Thought I was really clever until my computer crashed.
I have completely stripped the engine. Whilst I have experience of doing this on my first car (1965 Morris Minor neraly 30 years ago) I do not have the engineering training some forum members obviously have. I have an extensive collection of spanners/sockets etc but no calibrated measuring kit, dial gauges/micrometers etc and wouldn't know how to use them anyway. I do have the original service sheets and full parts list.
I intend to get the crank checked and re-ground if necessary. I am grateful to the forum for advice about the radius and getting it nitride treated.
How do I check if the bronze bushes in both cases are worn out? ????
I will be checking the bores, or get someone else to do it.
Is there any general advice about re-building the engine or can anyone point me to where I can find the info?
