Thanks to all. The engine is completely disassembled on a stand. Kevon and Rails method is about what we had figured. Thanks for the nicely described instructions! ZZ, yes of course we will shim everything correctly. I am finally at the end of a year of parts collecting, cleaning, fixing and info gathering! We are doing the Tardel rear frame step this week and frame is ready to be blasted/painted and start putting it all back together! The engine is ready to be assembled. I am really happy to have found that main, the broken one would have bugged me everyday, now maybe I can drive it for some time before a complete rebuild.
