He's got mine!

That means mine's staying on the shelf, the timing cover tool is incoming though

That's (timing cover )a great tool. I might be asking nicely in future???

No problem...if I'd remembered I had it I might've made stick's life easier when he did mine, but I haven't spotted any leaks

I thought that i'd update this





I collected the rotating assembly.

I had the block bored, honed, crank polished, keyway added to the crankshaft, heads skimmed, rotating assembly balanced

Now mounted on the stand, just finishing the prep for paint



If everything goes to plan, the engine should be built by early afternoon on Friday

Going to make it to Santa Pod in it?

If you haven't received the tool from me yet assume it's lost in the post!

Glad the thread is back on track.

I'll bring your engine lifting bracket back then.

You can borrow the one off mine if you get stuck.

I thought this was appropriate for me

I swaw this on Faceache, and wondered why Stick wasn't implicated.

He really needs to buckle down, rather than lust after a Nova.

First coat of POR15 Chevy Orange Engine paint applied. It still needs a couple more coats

Yr thread is the reason I pay for this work to get done as you started in Dec last year. At this rate you will make "edited" seem fast!

[KMud]

You bd, I want an orange block

I like that. I'll be doing my next block the same.

My gearbox is now in and all oiled up. Just awaiting some water pump gaskets I found were knacked. Should be firing mine up next week end with a bit of luck. Idle clips to follow!!!

Well thats Gareth in the lead, Gurmeet in second and stick bringing up the rear..

That being said I think Gareth has had his engine for at least 2 years sitting on the floor!

Together with a semi derelict farmhouse to rebuild too.

I do know very well that when you set out on one of these self serve projects, there are walls placed here and there, the biggest being the mental variety.
