This engine is quite fun, 6 cylinders, SOHC and non adjustable valve opening.

Cylinder head rebuilt with new guides, valves, springs and a 3 angle seat job. Cam towers and the angle drive must be shimmed in place. This is time consuming but everything need to rotate without binding.

At the moment waiting for 0.05 brass sheets for the final shims to be made up.

Just finished building a mezzanine in the workshop, office and warm room at the top.
Work is almost done and very happy with the result,.
