they are the ones Bacca got off you and then I brought them off him. I also had a set of bushed small block rods which I gave to Bacca in trade for a good block.

Try and get some brass freezer plugs, the metal ones are rubbish.

I managed to get in the garage this morning and managed to fit the cam, crank,pistons,rod and windage tray with oil pump so things are moving on well.
the cam was a bit tight so I used 2000 grit wet and dry to ease the bearing and now it spins well.
I fitted the main seal and the crank and once that was all torqued down i started to install all the pistons and rods and once that was complete I had to fit the oil pump and found it fouled the main studs so I had to cut the main stud thread down till it cleared. I was trying to install the timing chain but ran short of time so this is as far as I got today.

Hi Anton,

How's this for valve and sparkplug deshrouding for 340/360 heads?
