Thursday August 4th update
The engine is out and receiving the "works".
The crankshaft is being ground this morning, the resized conrods being assembled to the new pistons, block has been rebored and a NOS camshaft and bearings being fitted. Attention is being given to the head - new valves and guides - the old ones having several thou of slop. Euan is also making a new adaptor for the oil filter bypass after discovering the old one made of a welded-up oil filter. The battle at the moment is being a Chev workshop the crew want to paint the engine "Chev red" but commonsense may prevail and it will probably be painted black.
