Love this engine build

Yikes, running in at 6,000 rpm until the manifold glows, I never knew that was a way of doing it!

Good luck with all of the events you have planned, that is quite a list.

ps. not sure if it me but some of your photos aren't working.

So, long time no post, someone just reminded me of this thread...

So will try to do a bit of a catch up as i'm waiting for some things and interest after my crash at Mallory Park made me think i should document the conclusion of my build!!

This is what my average weekend looks like now, this was Thruxton back in July.

Had some more excellent work done by Alun at PPS Performance in Pembroke Dock to finish off the head that i ported over Christmas. He fitted new valve guides, reground the seats for the new valves and have the head a very light skim (as it was already a skimmed head)

Shiny
