You have done a wonderful job with your restoration. I have an R type in almost as good a condition.

Very nice restoration. Personally I would not have painted the flywheel face, I prefer the polished metal finish.

Thank you. I also prefer the metal finish...unfortunately, for this competition the engine had to be restored to as if it was coming out of the factory in 1969 so everything had to be painted.

Meeste van die gaskets kan sommer self uit papier gasket materiaal gemaak word, maar die koper head gasket het ek gekry by 'n ou wat dit profesioneel doen. Die exhaust is ook nagemaak deur 'n ou hier in Gauteng. Ander parte kan by 'n hardeware winkel gekry word.

hi Cobus very nice job I have a 5hp that i want to restore, it's running but not as it should, I haven't open it yet because I don't know if is possible to find spares in SA. I will appreciate any advice thanks.

Hi, thank you very much. Your best bet would probably be to go look at a spare engine at a scrap yard/scrap metal business to find extra spares should you need some. Most gaskets can be made out of gasket- and cork material. Petrol fittings can be made at a local plumbing business. There is an engineering business in Pretoria that makes exhausts like mine. Overall, parts are not very common, but they also don't break easily...I had no problems with finding parts. Good luck with the restoration, shout if you need anything.

Can this engine run on LPG without problems? Does the piston require additional lubrication that the fuel provided?
@cobusvwyk

It can run on LPG but will require a modified/custom carburetor. The piston gets all its lubrication from the oil "splatter" at the end of the con rod. Apparently there were Wolseley and/or Lister LPG/propane gas carburetors manufactured, but are very scarce now.

How did you get the rust out of where the water went
@cobusvwyk
10 ай бұрын
I did not really. I just blew most of the rust out of the water channels (in the head and engine block) with a compressor. A small wire wheel could probably also work, but the water channels are very small to work in...and it needs to be cleaned out to get rid of any wires.

Pragtige masjien Cobus Ek het presies dieselfde een maar myne hardloop bietjie vinnig Waar is die governor spring wat jy korter gemaak het dat joune so mooi loop ?

Baie dankie. Onder die exhaust sit die valve cover(so klein plat plaat). As jy dit oopmaak sal jy die 2 valves en lifters sien...aan die linker kant sit die governor skroef en veer. Die splitpunt kan net afgehaal word om die stukkie yster en veer van die skroefdraad af te kry. Wanneer jy hom terugsit maak seker die veer sit oordentlik in sy plek teen die res van die governor meganisme(nog verder links in die enjin) en die stukkie yster wat op die skroef draai is reg georrienteer laat hy vassteek teen die enjin blok wanneer die governor knop gedraai word. Dit is wat die veer kompress of release. Sterkte.
