It turns out that rebuilding engines at actually very expensive :/ new crank bearing shells, big end bearing shells, full gasket set, gasket cement, torque wrench, oil seals, piston circlips, oil filter and a few other bits and bobs all add up. I've been using padgetts motorcycles (http://www.padgettsmotorcycles.com/) as a supplier who have always had the parts in and fast delivery so they get two thumbs up from me.
I've been storing everything that has come off the engine in Chinese take-away boxes. I thought i would share this with you because it works so well. Cheap to buy, they keep everything clean and contained, they are compact, easy to label and they can be re-used.
With all my spares to hand it wasn't long before it was looking like an engine again.
After re-installing the pistons to the connecting rods and getting all the piston circlips in i finished up last night trying to get the pistons into the cylinder block which i didn't have enough hands for so i called it night.
