These pictures
show the assembly of the bottom end of the engine. The block had been painted in
heatproof paint & the engine number re-done in white as standard. Timing
case fitted showing correct orientation of hall sensor.
Timing Chains
Cylinder head
was then re-united with the block. Stronger timing chains were also obtained
through a member in the Autobahnstormer's car club. These new items can be
seen against the standard items.

starting to come together now as more and more parts are re-fitted. Here we

corresponding water & oil braided feed & return hoses.

are the last parts to be attached before the engine is finally ready to be
re-fitted back in the car. Second time lucky !!!!
