August 9, 2004 - Disassembly & Parts

Disassembled Merlin & parts that will be rebuilt into the engine for the 1962-65 Miss Bardahl. The engine was disassembled in 2002-2003 by Ryan & Dixon Smith. The parts are generally "very well used" and the crankcase will need to be line-bored to fix an out-of-round main bearing.
