Hi Steve,
The salesman from screwfix who sells my the wet/dry has just bought an Audi R8 V10 with his commission

Posted: **Fri Nov 29, 2013 5:49 pm**

Now I was happy with how the outside of the engine looked, I need to make sure it was in good condition inside as well.

As I spend a lot of my time on the road (at work) I do not have much time at home to do the jobs that need a bit of time and attention lavishing on them.

So I admitted that my engine rebuild would need to be done by someone else, who else than MARTIN

All the bits were packed up, including all internal bearings, seals, rings etc...

And off they went to Martins house $\:D/$

For him to work his magic on my engine......

And he should have it ready for you to pick up Monday

As if by Magic......

And a nice billet clutch star....

More to come....

Not forgetting......

New KIPS valves, linkages and a set of pulleys from Charles

Them head bolts need some bling, and the carbs need an ultrasonic clean, full gasket set, new jets and needles

And mounting on new carb manifolds....

W.O.W !!

Just had to put the sunglasses on to look at your engine Bernie

Never seen one so clean and shiny... Fantastic job mate !!

The number of hours that went into getting that finish (especially on the head and barrels) well my excuse is "I caught the ocd off the missus".
I saw the finish on Headcoats billet head and thought I want mine shinier!

I had no idea how hard it would be, but I am glad I did it

Thanks for the comments

Looking good Bernie
You should get another long tick over screw it will make the job a lot easier then keep taking the tank off.

I don't have another one, but I may try to make one

A quick question regarding the dreaded bottom engine fixing bracket......

Mine has a small gap (0.5mm as can be seen in the photo), do I need to shim it up so that it is a tight fit?

Cheers
Bernie

Yes you do Bernie. It will crack your frame when you tighten it up if you don't

Looking great by the way!

Dan
