Well engine work continues at a slow pace, just waiting for bits and bobs to arrive...started cleaning the pistons which I hate doing !!!!

Bearings, gaskets, Johnston lifters, arp head studs, build lube, and paint all arrived yippee ! I have sent my dash and generator to www.bluebirdproject.com to have their wiring guru convert the generator to 12v and build the entire wiring loom and dash.

Those building flathead engines in the UK and don't want eyes ripped out of sockets, go to www.royalkustoms.co.uk very very helpful and reasonable on price too !!



The block needs the lifter castings drilled out to either 1/8 or 5/32 to give access for a small bar when adjusting the lifters.... Got access to a nice 90 deg air drill that should do the job

Block awaits it's teeth drilling ! Pistons just slotted in for a bit of fun
