Well, when mine decided to recreate itself into a fair resemblance of yours
the cause was the thrust bearings having fallen out allowing the crank shaft
to move forwards & backwards.
The usual reason is the back plate on the engione being bent.
Can't help with info on the B&K bit or the new clutch - that gets a bit
beyond my level of expertise & knowledge :o)

seen the state of Baby Blues - and because Guy's at my shoulder coaching
