    All parts collected, now the crank is going to get balanced. I'll get some more pics up at the weekend
  2. Stuart Wilson
    Head, manifold, crank and flywheel are all ready. Going to collect them on Tuesday so the rebuild will begin.

    Cylinder head and inlet manifold dropped off at engine man. Also taken the crank and flywheel, the flywheel is getting lightened. The crank is being knife-edged and also a modification to the front pulley,  its drilled and doweled as the key have been known to fail. So hopefully I'll get it sorted in time for the rally.

    I've made a little bit more progress, I've sorted out getting the cylinder head ported along with the inlet manifold ported and matched to the head. Hope to get those dropped off this next week as i'm on a weeks holiday. So not a lot of progress but all the little bits add up

    then again I'm wrong as I've just noticed the roadsign :B :-/ :X

    Not sure that is the actual location of the check point as that picture appears to be the layby on teh south bound side rather than the North.  8)

    I've made no more progress with the engine at the moment as I've been busy with the Moss. But I will have to get on with it as could really do with it built, fitted, run in and set up on rolling road all by the 7th July  :-/

  11. Stuart Wilson
    if you can hear the pump, have you got a fuel supply problem? Have you taken the pump off and tried it across a battery with 2 lengths of pipe fitted, see if it pumps then.

    the rods did come form ebay I think can't 100% remember, I've had them in the cupboard a good while now. No new progress with it yet

    Regs and entry form

    I built the car in 2006/07 and have competed in it quite succesfully. This engine is the next upgrade for more power, still undecided if I'll leave it on the current twin dellorto 45s or go to throttle bodies.
