Having carefully sorted out the piston alignment I set about reassembling the engine and have since I don't have an engine stand or hoist, a fair amount of heaving, grunting and colourful Anglo-Saxon saw the block off the workbench and onto some big wooden blocks for support, while i bolted it to its mounts.

| This is the first time the chassis has had an engine in it since before I bought it! |
 |
| The gearbox and its slave cylinder sits on the floor waiting for its new clutch |
 |
| Yes I know the head isn't bolted on - I still have to sort the pushrods and tappet clearance... |
 |
| Very pleased with the clean and now correctly jetted carb. |
Just need to order the a new clutch, a gearbox rubber mount, an oil filter, a new PCV breather, an alternator belt, a starter motor and a distributor, coil leads and plugs and the drive-train can be completed! Ulp!
 |
| The last crate of engine/chassis bits contains the old clutch (trash) and the handbrake which is next inline for refurbishment. |
