Yeah will do... It's a straight bolt on item no machining needed.... Like I say it was just a thought........ The blower on mine may require the strap though...

That's exactly what mine is going to look like..... But grey
Full on erection garage that place ! Gorgeous bit of gentle relief around the valves, breath a bit better that one will.

Rich, that could be a factory relieved block.
My understanding of the reason behind it was to shorten the heat flow path from the cylinder to the ex valve. I heard the vacuum brakes in trucks leaned off the fuel mixture, causing increased heat which in turn increased the incidence of cracking from the cylinder to the exhaust valve seat.( the block then being of no further use)

Work presses on at an expensive rate... I have been literally in financial dire straits recently, it's been one thing after another, culminating in a destroyed compressor which had to be replaced.
Smiles engineering managed to save my crank, it had to go a further 20 thou than expected, it was in a bad bad way indeed ! New bearings in place then the crankshaft check fitted to make sure it did not bind up.... So far so good ! I need to replace my cam bearings but need to make a tool so I can draw them in... I just need to know the correct diameter of the mandrel. I have managed to resurrect the rear end linkages for the brake push rods... I had to build them back up then dress them back in the lathe, but they are good to go now. Just need the rods made ! So will need the correct lengths to do this.   The gearbox has now been sealed shut ready to join the engine and get filled with oil... I had to repair the horse shoe selector bar thingy, but luckily it appears to still fit, and my repair cannot be seen !   Also in the background I have been having various bins etc made up.. I started now so I don't have to fork out all at once.. I have the bren mag loader box, and the two track guard bins from the front compartment.    You will notice my riveting is not yet complete... One 3/8 to go in and some 5/16.... All have been ordered (and should have been her by now come to think of it)  I can vouch for the quality of work of old buck restorations, they have done a fantastic job on my bins so far ! The project continues ! Only five months left to get her mobile before the show !!!!!
