just a small one.   got the engine and gear the other day, just got round to crack detecting the lots and good news is its all fine to be subject to another season of high rpm :P

 

the pistons are super duper rare, this is probably the only set you will ever see:P    proper special tuning pistons. and cooper S rods. win

 

the cranks a std 998 crank thats been hardened, i think due to the err, hardcore balencing with a grinder thats been done im going to send it off for a few jobs to be done on it, wedging, counterbalencing, balencing etc. make it indistructable

everything is at home now, everything important has been crack detected and is all good. the cranks going to be sorted, lightened, counterweight improvements and stress relieving.  tomorrow inm going to spend many hours lightening and polishing the rockers.  i want to build this engine the old skool way so no shiny new parts, just hard work, engineering, and mechanical brilliance :P  cant wait!
