We are going to change the seals in Al's P200 engine. The workshop will take place on Sunday February 8 with a 9 AM start (ouch!). We will be doing the work at my work place, and CCSC rally sponsor, Sports Car Centre located at 8737 - 53 Ave (rear entrance).
We hope to do it all in one day but we may have to do over two sessions if other parts are found to be required.
Everyone is welcome to come.

A very nice time was had by all and special thanks to Audrey who not only supplied the very necessary flywheel puller (thanks Igor!) but also brought coffee and doughnuts!
The bad news is that at one time someone ran the scoot's oil tank dry. A beautiful, low mile engine with piston seizure, bad flyside crank bearing and a suspect big end. The bad bearing took out the flyside seal which was causing his running problems. The crank is OK but for how long is hard to say so I recommended either changing the rod and big end or getting another crank.
Al's going to round up the parts and we'll have another clam bake soon.

Crappy news! It's a shame that there are still people that have no clue that machines DO need occasional Maintenance. Most of these machines will run for a looooong time with no issues with only a little oil and fuel....
Al's lucky that Doctor C was on call, the Prognosis looks good with a little TLC... I hope to be available when the engine comes back to life!
