More Engine Rebuilding.. It's nearly ready for painting!

After yesterday's progress I kept the momentum going today by pretty much finishing off the build. I cleaned all the fittings (nuts, bolts, studs etc.) in degreaser and then got on with fitting the new cylinderhead, the rocker assemblies, tappets and pushrods, thermosat housing engine front cover....

Everything was torqued and adjusted correctly and went together without any problems at all.

The only thing that gave any resistance at all was the old oil seal in the front engine cover but it was soon persuaded out and the new one tapped in without any trouble.

Here are the photos:
