You are correct though
It's all done now and I'm picking it up Tuesday.Can't wait, it's amazing how you miss a lude when you don't have it.
Congratulations to vtecmec for winning May/June's Lude Of The Month, with his DIY Turbo BB1 build.

Re: BsBB1
Yeah, just an unlucky set of circumstances. Oh well, that's why it's called luck I guess.

Re: BsBB1: Engine and wiper arms sorted
OK, well here's a few pics, but obviously the finished article looks pretty similar to how it did before!
Being carted off
@4thgenphil's supplied new block:
Spangly new build (complete with new dizzy):
Basically, this involved another new set of rings, a replacement piston and rod, head gasket, sump gasket, fluids etc...
The rest was all usable and transplanted over.
Once she was home, I decided to sort the bloody annoying wiper arms.
Before:
The majority of the coating was actually very sound, so instead of going the sandblast route (done this before with wiper arms and it was a PITA), I decided to just take back all the loose stuff and give the surface a good key:
I then gave them a good few coats of Zinc182, but forgot to get pics. Here's another part I was doing at the same time though, for a retro bike I was building up for a mate:
I like Zinc182 as it's an ace primer, but it also gives a kind of stoved finish, which is great for taking paint.
So anyway, wipers done:
The slightly patchy appearance is due to me having to fit them in the rain, then give them a quick wipe before a pic
Once they are cured properly, I'll whack a bit of wax type stuff on them.
