Default Cs8

Spent a few hours tweaking the spanners and the motor is ready to come out

Good news: No rust disasters in the cylinders , about 5 thou ridge evident .

These motors have some oddities:

All threads and bolts are metric . Morris bought the French Hotchkiss factory and inherited the Metric tooling .

Valve lifters are located in three seperate blocks that unbolt from main engine block
