Hi, fantastic build, looking at your specs mine is goingt to be exactly the same, just your a few months ahead of me.
My engines at SC now getting the machining done, is it 2k paint you have used to do the engine, as it's something Iwas thinking of using on mine, but did not know if it wouild take the heat?

Well keep up the good work and pics coming and might get both 16v at seaburn this year.

This is super quick progress. Why o why did i insist on making all my parts! I have done another few hours on mine today and have only got the oil feed to the head and the cam adapters to show for it!

Antman progress may be slow but youve done it, im now at the stage where things seem to take an eterity made my oil filler neck today to go where the transfer breather was in stainless took forever to cut out and then bend the pipe and tig up but once it was done im glad i made it got to turn up a nice alloy cap now.

Looking good there! Got my dry build sorted now and putting it all together properly now. All the parts looks very nice, do you work in machining or fabrication perchance? Particularly like the rad support, might have to evolve a version of that.

Nice,
That thermostat housing looks nice mate

Hope the rest of it goes well

Back once again like a renegade master

Cool, puts my efforts over the last few weeks to shame! Doesn't look much ledt to do now!

Thanks you lot, i do work in a machining environment but have aquired the machines and skills as i like to do as much as i can im an electrician by trade and work for a radiator machine company (we build the machines which make all the component parts and put them together), the last pic is my oil filler neck all the breathing is done by the tank on the rear of the engine by a 1" bore and a 1/2" bore pipe to a catch tank, cant say enough about JohnK's kit a well engineered piece of art and save so much time especialy if youre going to pay for someone to machine parts for you.
