So, to the pics:
Inlet mani off
Head came off and then the old guts came out
Almost new pistons (from a 500mile X-Bow lump) fitted with new rings mated to the IE rods with some 'Sputter' big end bearings
One set back was having to strip the head to clean out the inlet ports and valves. The gunk was a fooker to clean off. After pics only.
My tray after cleaning (also need to repaint the wall!!)
I welded a boss onto the sump to hook up my Defi oil temp gauge. Welded really nicely unlike most sumps.
Pistons all fitted with some ARP head studs
Only 200 miles left of running in. I need the boost
