JJR toolmakers with Barnfindspecialist

This engine block is from our 1931 4 litre Bentley, the vehicle was in Canada for most of her life, I suspect the massive crack was caused whilst she was unloved in the 1950s which was around the last time she was on the road.

normally this kind of damage to an engine block would be the end of it economically, however with only 50 4 litres ever built and possibly only 30 still in existence, we were forced to try our best to save her.

Lee our amazing engineer came up with the idea of inlaying a piece of cast iron into the block, so he milled out the cracked area and made two inserts that were pressed in surrounded in #jbweld.

the block was then skimmed to clean up the repair.

We have now taken over this toolroom, we have the previous owner onboard who turned out some fantastic quality aero standard work, he was instrumental in the build of my WO Bentley, making some much needed bespoke items.
