A late night at Zen

After 2 solid days on cleaning everything up, repairing (time-serting) 14 stripped threads in the block – it is now all together…

Everytime we bolted something on, the last bolt would just strip the little thread it had, so it had to all come off again, block any open ports to stop swarf getting in and use another insert.

Anyway it is worth it in the end.

Block halves joined:

Shelf full of engine bits..

Richard busy doing his thing:

New fuel rails courtesy of Carl Davey:

And lots of aeroquip hose/fittings:

on the stand and having heads on:

Zen’s new mystery engine builder

Forgot to take a pic of it all together, will do that today but it will go in tonight.

Massive thanks to Team Zen for working with me til the early hours of this morning getting it to this stage… above and beyond.

Now in a Zen like state of knackeredness
