Today, Paul and Ron completed the assembly of the new engine. The pistons were fitted in the cylinders and the cylinder head installed and assembled. After completing the assembly, the valves were adjusted to the cold setting. They will be adjusted again after the initial start-up while the engine is hot.
The oil pan has been sandblasted and primed. It will be fitted tomorrow. The valve cover has been restored to its original glory but it will not be fitted until the engine is installed.
Thursday the engine will be cleaned and the original green finish will be applied.
