Nice work pete
Looking good Pete' just don't make the mistake I made by building my engine on the kitchen table while our lass was at the coast for a week
Lol cheers alan yeah i dont think she would be impressed just ordered the last of all the lower oil seals and gaskets so hopefully either at the weekend or through next week i can get it built back up then its just a case of waitng for the gear box and get it back in.
just seen this , good work pete mate , be nice when its done
Will be picking the block, crank and head up tomorrow morning so await piccys
Picked the engine up this afternoon and had a little bit of time so got some work done
And thats it for now if i get some free time tomorrow will do some more but all in all the machine shop have done a brilliant job and saved me quite a lot on new pistons,rings, and all new breaing shells the crank didnt need a grind so just had a polish and the head ended up with a light skim
