been having a play this afternoon with the engine , at the min its sat with 2 barrels with a single port head and the other side has two pistons hanging out , iv started looking at the heads to get them built up and luckily john has labeled every valve and spring in individual bags so its made life easier , its got a spanking set of scat ratio rocker arms which seem simple enough but im not so sure about measuring and cutting push rods once heads are on but will keep you all posted

cheers

I had guy to do the upholstery but I made all the units etc I have the other cushions in now just got a few issues to sort , ie brakes , clutch , and front tyre keep catching so I'm going to try 10mm spacers and a lower profile tyres on the front .

Come up and have a look John or I will come down as long as it's not raining !!!
