sorry mate can't let you have mine, as it's a copy that a mate did for me, what he didn't tell me was he copied it from a t16 which is very slightly wider

Bit more progress on the carrier, I have got the engine back from Northern Rebore's with the new cam bearings installed and the bores honed, I made a bracket to mount the engine on the stand by the exhaust ports. I feel a bit more confident with it now.
Job one once mounted was to clean all the crap out of the block yet again... I had hoped the machine shop would have done this but never mind Then I set about installing the cam and the valve assemblies once and for all ! I had to make a pry bar tool to locate the valve guides into the block, then the retainers were added. A but fiddly for me but I got there in the end..... I then had to set the clearances 14thou for the exhausts and 12 thou for the inlets..... The adjustable followers are a godsend !!! Just make sure you drill the block in the right place ! Once I was happy everything spun and all the valves opened and closed without binding, I set the cam timing in place via the large drive sprocket... I then located the opposite mark on the crank and seated the crank in place... Then it was a case of adding the caps and introducing the rods and pistons. I am missing six castellated rod nuts so will need to make some calls... I have half the pistons in the block..... The rest will have to wait until next time. It's nice to finally get the thing put back together !

And here is the last one for now.... Those shiney pistons and valves all dull from oily paws... Sigh.

Pulley is still lying in the box, it needs cleaned and painted, but will get that marked up... I take it you do that to time in (advance / retard) the dizzy ? Usually I mark the flywheel ?
