next progress, or should i say, my first mistake with this kit.
Thank's to Richard (rsanz, here on the forum), he pointed me out that i used the 160 Pk. timing gear instead of the 200 Pk (wich i use for the model). I had no idea when i ordered the Taurus resin set, that there are differences into the two engine types
......ok for this mistake i will put myself on water and bread as a punishment
In front you see the Taurus part. Also the lifters are in the middle of the rocker boxes instead of at the side of the boxes (wich was typical for the 200 Pk engine). The kit part i will use is behind the Taurus part and is correct.
Because of the wrong timing gear, the water pump was placed to far forward so it will conflict with the engine cowl later on.
This had to be solved, so surgery had to be performed.
Removal of the rocker boxes was no big deal, but the springs (Taurus) needed also to be removed because i wanted to use them again.
After this was done with succes and without loss of any of the springs
the correct kit part was placed together with the springs.
Et voila, this will be much better.
And now, some paint progress on the engine.
The engine was first painted with Alclad aluminium, and after that the rest was brush painted with Vallejo Model color.
Also the manifold intake was painted and received a wash.
