It’s all been a bit quiet lately, I had my 70th birthday at the end of September so been having a bit of R&R
Ive completely finished the painting and polishing saga
And just getting ready to start the rebuild!
I’ll post a few pics once there’s a few things bolted on !

Great and a belated happy birthday. Can't wait to see the next stage.....cheers

Aww Cheers,
Following a bit of a survey on my engine I’m now looking at a full rebuild, the block requires boring, decking and obviously I’ll get the mains checked for square
Probably the worst news was my rare 12 heads have excessive pitting in the valve seat area, which will require new seats etc,
So basically theses are toast!
All this has left me with a dilemma as I was hoping to retire
But I’m looking at the costs to do the above I guess I’ll just have to carry on for a few more months
Ces’t la vie
