Just need to fit the exhaust

Got my engine started yesterday. Still needs an exhaust too

BHP sells engines, but Torque wins races!

Always a good feeling when an engine fires up staightaway

It's taken exactly 1 pot of swarfegra to build it. waiting on a new brake servo and a couple of daft things I can't wait to drive it.

Ahhhhh bad news, had fuel pissing out of the part lean throttle off doofer.

Time to rebuild it I think, first time iv ever rebuilt a carb. Just had a read through Tom Fentons how to guide. Credit were credits due This forum is ace cheers Tom.

Notice something wrong with this pic?

Got some goodies today.



Oil cooler mounted

It's missing the jet holder.


Might be worth doing this mod too whilst your rebuilding the carb:

This is what I want to do, the only problem is I don't have the original part to copy.

Anyone have a spare one even if it's bust?

Some more goodies tonight.

Iv had too take the timing cover off because I could hear something rubbing.

I didn't mod the cover to accept a duplex,
Job for today.

oops i had to take mine off before i put the engine in i had forgot the lock tab for timing gear lol happens to us all

Done now needs redoing lol

More bad shit!!

Thought it would be a good idea to re-torque the head whilst warm after running.

Set my torque wrench to 55ft pounds turned the nut a few turns and something wasn't right!!

My torque wrench didn't click off instead I snapped the head stud! Hufffffff

I had to de torque the head to get the stud out, now I'm in two minds to get a new gasket or not. I might of squished the metal rings on with it been a bk450.

What you guys think?

Ha you lot will laugh at this, couldn't get the car running rite was trying for about half hour until I realised I had 2 ht leads the wrong way round, ran perfect once swapped then ran out of fuel instantly.
A walk to Garrage with the jerry can tomorrow
you live and learn.

Took mini for a spin down the ten foot just got brakes to sort out and I think it's running too much boost need a guage and boost controller. Next on the list
