Not much of any consequence to report or show.

Block cleaned a couple of times, in readiness for final clean & assy.






Waiting on a couple of sets of main bearings, I was advised to switch from Clevite Babbitt lined bearings to a Clevite H coated bearing. (thanks Andy)

Babbit bearings were good for when I was running blown, but have a short life & to be honest I just caught them in time.

Had another change on Piston rings, after some more good advice from Marc Lamude, Steve Morris.

All being well, rings & bearings will be here shortly, so can switch back to getting the motor assembled.

Removed some of the hard edges off the pistons, to help prevent hot spots, also contemplating getting pistons coated.

Had a mate in the states bring these injectors back for me






A while back, had another mate put an 'O' ring in the throttle body, mainly to eliminate the need for a gasket & also mounting surface wasn't completely flat, so a couple of thou was skimmed off

Mark keep it up looks great and I like the shed too

I was going to say the workshop looks good but everyone beat me to it - loads of light and concrete looks good job. Is the fan there for a reason?

I should move the trunk lid before throwing any arrers- one bounce off the wire and...

Injector set-up looks the nuts
