Moving swiftly on from Ian's comment above
Still at it been painting some more little bits and Dan is back now so the engine is 90% complete as it seems is always the way we are again waiting for parts - well in this case waiting for parts to be machined in this case it's the valve clearances. Due to having the valves re-seated the clearances are a bit small so some new bits are being measured and skimmed to fit.
On a completely different note I bought a car transporter trailer today - wasn't planned just got a call from the guy I borrow it from as seen here -
he said I'm selling it thought I'd give you first shout - so it's mine now
That's all folks ..........................
