I had Baccaruda down at the weekend checking out the damage, fortunately the bearings and gaskets turned up on Thursday, so he cleaned and honed the block, polished the crank cleaned up the seats and a couple of exhaust valves pasigauged and fitted the crank then cam that was Friday then went for a couple of beers and a curry.
Saturday he checked over all the pistons and rods noticed i had lost the molly off a couple of top piston rings so they were file fitted and replaced pasigauged rod bearings and reassembled, all the bearings were polished with 1000 grit.
So it was just dial in the cam and finish assembly we decided to use just a single oil line system and checked it out and it primed up straight away loads of oil
So ever thing looked good changed all the burnt puhrods and broken lifter cleaned up the damaged rockers.
By this time it was early evening people were starting there BB Q's so decided to put the motor in the car so it was all hands on in it went even had 10psi oil cranking so fired it up WOW sounded amazing 60psi fantastic, trouble was it was too noisy in the garage so we decided to Bananarama! out into the ally,Just then my mother came in she didn't look to pleased she was in the house and heard this terrible noise it was 7.45 so that was that .
But all in all a really good weekend, I was going to take loads of pics but was so busy didn't have time. So big thanks to every one who helped out with the build and the advice

Really good news, Jim; well done

Not too expensive, then; could have been worse.

Pleased to hear you got the motor all sorted

Feels real good the 1st time they fire, after all your efforts

hell that was quick, no messing about there then

I was grinning from ear to ear last night, might get to SCR at the end of the month for the nostalgia drags still lots to do

Nice one Jim, I think you got away lightly there
