The Imp engine conrod design

When compared with other engine makes, the Hillman Imp has the top of the range design of conrod, the journal end cap is so well located!


This is now 49 years old, bead blasted and washed clean its ready to go again.


The piston is a plus 0.030" size, it took a week soaked in oxalic acid to free off the seized rings and some alloy was lost, it will have been soft from years of water damage anyway?

The rings came out eventually and as far as I can see they are fine to reuse, the dimentions match with a new Rootes Car Co, ring still.
