The Engine

The first thing to do was to fix the engine after snapping the cam chain. The damage was a bent valve, snapped cam chain and unfortinetly some of the engine casing broke away. However, the piston ect were fine :)

Once we had put the engine back together, me and my dad re-painted it black, to meet the original factory standards.
