| Disintegrated piston, honing in the field did not get rid of the deeply gouged cylinder walls --> engine rebuild needed, next best town --> Alexandria. Our friends from AAC help us find a good work shop there. |  |

 | Borgi gutted! |
Alexandria workshop  |  |
 |  |
 | All 6 cylinders bores get drilled out |
 | |
 | |
| New bearings |  |
 | |
 | |
 | New piston rings, not a 100% match, but it'll work |
| Crank shaft are ground on the lath. |  |
 | Cylinder liners get machined to size. |
 | |
 | liner is pressed into the cylinder bore. |
| Managing the local experts is a full time job :) |  |
 | After being pressed in to the bores the liners get a final cut to assure a true ID. |
| 1 new piston and rod. (#4 on this picture) |  |
| new connecting rod bearing |  |
 | |
| fitting the piston rings |  |
| piston rings were initially a little too large... |  |
| ...then they were ground to fit perfectly ;) |  |
 | |
 | |
 | |
 | |
 | |
 | pistons being assembled into bore. |
|
 | pistons are in. |
| complete engine is loaded into a taxi to drive back to the other workshop for final assy into the Borgward. |  |
 | |
 | Engine mounted. |
 | All done! Next stop Assuan! R&R badly needed! :) |
