Hi.
I took my never-run 503 SCSI apart in order to change crankshaft seals.
And then I could as well give it the newer upper conrod bearings.

The A type gearbox has 12 spring washers. Should I give it new washers?
They are 30 years old, but the engine (and gearbox) has never been run.

(I finally found a way to install new circlips to the piston - couldn't do it the CPS way...)

TIA

Cheers
Erik
