The Kelvin J3 in pictures

It's important to take pictures during any engine overhaul, and I've tried to do this so as to (i) remember how everything goes back together [although to be fair I am also very much relying on expert help!] and (ii) to see the changes in the engine during the period of the refurbishment.  After having checked the engine for major problems and having undertaken a pressure test of the cylinders which appeared satisfactory, the plan has been to overhaul the key components of the engine such as the water pump, governor, injection pump, magneto etc.  I set out below some of pictures of these parts as certainly during this rebuild it has been difficult to find good pictures of these from other engines:




Many of the engine parts have been ... or shortly will be ... rerubished in the period before the shell is ready, and in the following post I show some of the parts that have been overhauled.
