Hello All. Can somebody please help me here.
Just got asked to repair some stuff off a 1913 Truimph side valve. I cannot get any tech or engine spec information despite some searches.
What I have found out though is that there is a tapered gudgeon pin, (puzzling to me as there must be something more to keep the gudgeon in),one piece con rod with tapered big end eye, tapered steel bush with white metal bore to fit big end journal, cast iron piston etc, ..
This stuff shows its age. it has to be just out of the wrought iron era . fascinating stuff to me.
This engine has had a home made soft gudgeon fitted with about 15 thou clearence. I am not kidding here. also piece broken out of con rod big end eye.
very little documentation. all that is clear from the owner is the date, 1913.
if any one could kindly help out here with any engine related information, drawings, parts numbers or specifications it would be appreciated. or even where to go to find this information.
I have no experience with engines of this era, so any info can only be a plus.
thanks and best wishes to all bradley
