After being decked and honed out to 1380,cc 

The block then had a good bath in degreeser leaving the new paint slightly les sparkly.

Head was also skimmed and lead free'd up. 

New valve's guides and seats

After a bit of tweakng the pistons had been droppep in and fastend down to the correct Nm's.

Then the cam bearings and Kent Cam 286md was installed

and the duplex lighend timing gear put in place lined correctly.

 

Pusch rods in cam followers in block op the box voila !

 

Will be going for the Retro 2x HS4's and not the easyer

Hiff44 with one filter.

Hs4's have been rebuilt with new gaskets et.

Both Hs4's have been sonicly cleaned by a friend of mine Paul. 

Cheers Paul.:-)

Engine Build and paint

 After a bit of a doo tried some engine green paint I had in the garage.

Should have done the welder as well ;-)

 

Clutch housing and lid have been severly wire brushed and painted. 

 

After a bit of drying the block went off to a guy got skimmed and honed.

Yeah should have painted the engine after this..
