Click on the images for a larger version
 A top view of the engine during assembly - NB tubular steel
pushrods |
 View of LH rocker gear/valve train - you can just see the
silicon manganese bronze valve guides which I was recommended should be used
with unleaded by Rovercraft (who built the heads) |
 A view of my - er - shed which had to act as as an engine
building workshop! |
 Shows front of engine during rebuild NB Kent Cams timing
chain and vernier gears and Ken Bell cam 'bumper' to prevent cam walk. Block
is a 30A vitesse stiff block (not that that means much with all those 3.9s
around!) |
 Shows the top of the engine during the build-heads are mildly
ported-cam Kent 214 |
