Superb Mike,it's amazing how simple these engines and gearboxes look, but how much work actually goes into getting them to this stage.

S'alright, I suppose... :roll:

Judging by the slow and fastidious work rate, even though all you've got to do is fit the engine, I can't see how it will be ready for Essen in late March.... :wink: :)

I particularly like the sharp contrast of the red cap on the MFI Pump. Getting closer and closer to the end of job and looking forward to seeing it as one.

That's stunning, and I'm in awe of your patience too. I can't imagine the emotions when you finally drive it....
