This weekend we did a lot off preparations for the engine. We bought two new cylinders for the engine and we cleaned the engine so that we could repaint it. After painting the engine we toasted with a glass off dark rum.
Engine preparations
Engine
So we finally lifted the engine out off its spot. It took us a while cause some of the bolts wouldn’t come out so easily. They were so old and rusty that sometimes they didn’t look like bolts anymore. Some of them we had to even saw through. With three strong guys like us :p lifting the engine wasn’t so hard. Now we are scraping all the old paint off and will clean it so that we can repaint it.
Taking apart the engine
Last week and the week before we started to take apart the engine. Lucky for us Paul (my dad) was there for to help us along. We both don’t know anything about engines (yet). So Paul helped us with the parts that needed to be taken out first and told us what the different parts are for. Next week we need to clean the parts and then we can start to rebuild the engine. When it’s all put back together again we’ll give it a nice new paint job. Peace\/
