cheers Bob...got my plug cover done over the last few days and now busy painting stuff and lacquering everything in sight, plan on re-fitting timing belt tomorrow
I am well chuffed with my engine bay colour scheme and would choose it again if I ever built another

not a great deal done the last few days....just felt like a good old loaf....so I did
still re-furbishing stuff like covers, mounts etc....moving on to the induction side which is gonna be awkward to clean, but hey if I put anything manky on the engine now it will stick out like a sore thumb.
I did get my vernier pulleys fitted which allowed me to fit the timing belt. crank pulley. and water pump pulley and one timing cover. the other cover I will be cutting a window out and putting a piece of perspex in to keep the verniers on show......here is the usual piccy updates

cracked on and got a bit more of the engine done on the induction side just another few bits and pieces to do like alternator, starter and some pipework. I would hope to for a final engine fit within a week, then I can really start putting it all together.
plenum before refurb

Kev that engine really is a work of art, almost seems like a shame to put it in a roadster and get it dirty!
