Lucky you, if I lived close to Jan I would be poor.Seek wrote: ↑Fri Nov 18, 2022 4:59 amI happen to live relatively close to Jan Withagen and I will have my engine case measured. He uses a set of dummy shafts for this procedure. Using the bearings will not result in an accurate measurement because of the inherent slop in roller bearings. I am very curious what the result will be.
Please let us know what you find out on the gears, any real world info is always important.

Re: R50S Restoration
I'd love to see pictures of your build as it progresses!
I am a member of the /2 FB group, so you can look for me there.

Re: R50S Restoration
I am building a 1955 R50. While I do not possess your technical knowledge I am having Shail's build my bottom end. Top end has been thru the machinist, and there are new SS rotating valves, new guides, etc. I am doing as much as I can myself, though I have had to use several local paint and welding shops.
I am a member of FB /2 group, and would love to trade pix of yours and my R50's, though I note yours is extremely rare! Mine is # 551610 which is an early one.
Cheers,
Ken Cruise

Re: R50S Restoration
I do remember you and all the parts you brought over. Thanks.
I'll ping you directly once I get started on the assembly.
