Had a great laugh as usual at ICE this afternoon/evening, sorry I did not think about taking any pics, not that there's much to see, what has already been seen
Motor bottom end all built up, heads on & rocker gear in place, awaiting new pushrods.
Sorted out how to do the Oil pump, Fuel pump & Alternator belt drives today. Need to modify main drive snout & need to sort out a new Alternator pulley, plus a slight mod to the main oil feed (elimination of gasket for 'O Ring) overall a good day
Should be able to collect at the end of the month...

Wow. Serious bit of kit.
I'd have to leave the build at that stage for a couple of days , just to admire it

If I had a Ali block and heads I would have to anodise them black or some outragous colour.

What about painting the motor sublime, as a tribute to the old colour scheme?

I'd leave it well alone and bask in its Aluminium greatness, and just in case it has to come apart again (for routine servicing!!)

They are a thing of beauty,,,,,, so what problems did you have Mark ???? i assumed wrongly you were having some sort of govorning problems as its such a complex set up ??? or was it just down to engine sealing like i had ?//

Dunc,
Yes poor sealing. It was basically down to the wrong ring selection for Pistons, the oil ring pack bottom support ring,
