More pics from this evening's work...
New lump totally stripped, everything swapped over. Happy with the clutch, looks really good as does the flywheel.
New engine has been stood for a while. Oil was NASTY! Taken all parts that I can swap over, but after 1000 miles I thoroughly intend to flush the engine and change the oil to get rid of any lasting 'old oil' nastiness.
New con rods, and shells arrived (Thanks again Bill - legend
). Pistons went on the rods fine, and then into the block. Gave one of the oil squirters a nudge, but a gentle push with a flat head screwie put her back where she belonged! What a pain though!
Head is back also - looking immaculate. SAI blanking plate from Forge fitted as well.
Ready to refit the block tomorrow...

Engines during the parts swap
AGU head *cough* for sale *cough*
Head back from A&M. Top job they've done for £150, 100% impressed.
New block, water pump fitted, no pistons though....
New IE rods. Out with the old, in with the new.
Ready to go into the block....
Lost the will to take photos after this.
Tune in for tomorrow's exciting instalment.... lol.
