    engine re build

    This project started from my flywheel being damaged and IanMM saying pop down my unit we'll soon have that fixed. Now months later and alot of money spent Its nearly back in the car cause I will be gutted if I miss out on National day. Still lots to do but as long as it is running for national day everything else can be sorted later

    Thanks to the help of IanMM we fitted my uprated head gasket, my chemically cleaned head , my piper 270 cam and all the push rods etc have all gone in now.
    Slowly starting to look like an engine again.

    the only trouble with fitting a nice clean engine is I gota keep the dam thing clean lol

    if its sparkling when it goes in its alot easier to keep on top of it than you'd think.

    i changed my starter and driveshaft recently and finished with suprisingly clean hands!!
