You don't get bargains any more Nick. If it is reduced, it is most probably cheap tat not worth looking at. All you are saving is the postage, and most of them are starting to do free anyway all the time. At one time, you would get the VAT knocked off, but not any more. So I think you will be safe in the knowledge that what you want will be there. John |

You all must be living somewhere special, I don't remember giving up adjusting tappets, I still do on my bike, on my tractor and on my Mercedes too. It's good to see the progress, you're just about ready to fire it I expect. She's looking pretty good too. :beer: cheers, Jack |

Great build Doug :clap: |

Jack, I think the only cars that have solid followers here these days are stuff like BMW M3's etc, but you can't adjust those, you have to change 24 shims, hence why the servicing costs so much!! John, that's good to know, will see what's on offer then. Can see me spending a lot of time around the machine DRO stand contemplating too! Anyway sorry for going off topic Doug, can't wait for the next installment! |

..Correct. I guessed at .008 gap like every other car engine I have ever worked on (the plans said nothing about it)... In the notes for for the engine, referring to sheet six, Jan suggests 0.3 mm gap. Dave. |
