Made a start removing stuff the other day. Got the carbs off, exhaust manifold, the head, alternator, rad and a few other bits.
Found some wiring that wants tidying up and found that one of my throttle cable ends has come off where it goes through the bulkhead.
Head has been dismantled and taken to a local engineers for work including: 55 thou skim for a total of 100 thou, Very light skim on the inlet and exhaust faces as there loads of paint and crap on them, and faced and 3 angled valve seats.
Just waiting on my mate and his engine crane now to get the rest of the engine and box out which should hopefully be one evening this week.
