I found bits of feeler guage used as shims

The head had one very worn inlet valve guide, but other than that it was in good nick.

The block and head have gone for vapour blasting.

 

 

It's more fun working this way!

Underneath looks great. Going to be stunning. What are you going to do for window seals as they are a hot topic right now?

well this thread has just turned into 205 porn of the utmost quality. I tip my hat to you sir!

Got block and head Vapour blasted but....

Bugger!

 

So bought a second hand block, which needed stripping but it looks like it's going to do the same!

This thread is is lazy lob material, without doubt.

 

The big downside (for me) is that it makes my tidyish CTI look like a right old turd!

You can have all the pistons and liners etc with it if you want those too!

I would also like to know what the plan is with door seals as I planning to take on a similar project pretty soon, though it looks I have my work cut out if I am to match this standard of work.

Looks like its going to be perfect when finished. Nice to see a cti getting restored. Like the auto bonnet mate.
