My old gaffer when I was a apprentice fitter had these sage words
Make as much muck as tha wants when stripping a engine
But when building
Cleanliness is next to godliness clean and clean again
And it's true as I have learnt to my cost and a couple of good hidings from the fitters I worked with when I was young and stupid (No change there then)

When I was an apprentice mechanic at Cockshoots, Bellevue works, Manchester, the (Kiwi) foreman drummed into us that we do NOT put in back together the way it came apart...

We had to put it back together the way it should be put back together.

Good job it isn't me working on your engine Mr Bill... that list of jobs would take me until Christmas at least...

I am getting all excited for you now...

Take your time... no slip ups now please.


JJ :cool:
yes Mr JJ all most there but not till it's running is the job complete I thought this time last week it was game over .
but a bit of recycling encouragement from funsters who would want to go to any other forum when there all ready a member of the best.
there is still a long way to go before I am traveling the roads of Europe
and sharing a fray bentos pie with you in a orange grove somewhere in porchagale with a glass of nice read wine

I have taken so much time on this that I though that time had stopped it been a bitch I have been in to engines all my life but never had so much bother and bad luck with one it going to be a one off this one bit of modifications adaptations engineering challenges frustrations tears skint knuckles and bad temper but feeling a bit pleased with my shelf even if it doesn't work I will have a feeling of achievement and learnt so much that this thing can be done even when the body say's they cant me a 7 year old and sum spanners so proud of him
