[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 86855, member: 3426"] Now that the B twin is more or less in one lump after more than 40 years in boxes..... I need to start organizing things for the next project. So... I have most of a Comet engine, but it needs a new big end bearing. There aren't many shops around this area that I would feel comfortable handing over a crank to. I'm thinking of taking a stab at doing it myself. Haven't started yet, so need to clean things up and start measuring to determine if I actually have something to work with. I have a press that should be sufficient for reassembly, dial gauges etc. Also have a lathe, but I'm thinking knife edge rollers would be better for checking runout. Has anyone on here been through this process before? Advice? [/QUOTE]

The Series 'A' Rapide was known as the '********' Nightmare?
