I have been toiling since November on my engine, and engine bay. Today I started her up for the first time after a major rebuild.

Some pics.

Breaking in the new cam

A damn fine result judging from the external view. I trust the cam run-in was without incident.

Charlie, the only incident I had was a louder tick on the driver side bank. When I pulled the rocker cover to set the lash hot I found a poly lock had come undone. Now I dont know if this was my error in setting the lash cold and I missed tightening one, or it worked loose.

I hope it has not damaged the cam, but it sounds as sweet as a nut now.

Dave the stamps came out great - thank you.

Cheers Guys, will post a completed pic later.

Thanks all for the comments.

Here it is done, I just have to fit the hood, then I can take it for a spin

Jack65K_old · April 11, 2011 at 4:39 PM

Run it without the hood and show off all that hard work!

Did I mention I cut the centre of the hood out and installed a plexi glass panel ?.
