Don't know how I missed this, Sir, but I am very glad to have come across it now.

You do simply amazing work, and it is pleasure and privilege to watch you at it.

I agree with OM's comments about the amazing work which is a pleasure to watch. I have learned so much from your build threads and will undoubtedly learn a great deal more in the future.

[Des]

Thanks very much OM and LM for your kind comments, they are much appreciated.

Sorry for taking so long to post an update but I was waiting for materials to arrive. I have done some more work on the engine, I added paint, inlet manifold and tubes, I made a magneto and fitted it, I also made a water pump and fitted it to the rear of the engine with plumbing. I still need to do the rocker assemblies with valve springs plus the exhausts, I have already made the 8 spark plugs which need to be fitted.

I have written this before but I will write it again: when do you put the petrol in for a test run? Is the water pump working and will it pump the water to the radiator? Amazing work, just incredible.
