Iaiiain, if your worried about the caps, they will take a polish, and as for the sump, bring it over , I'll get it welded and if you still don't want it, I'll have it.

Cheers for the info Tomomomoom. I'll bring the sump over next time I see you.
iainel - Thanks for the advice earlier. Had a look through your thread. After reading page after page, i'm more and more amazed. Good work mate.
Finished cleaning my hydraulic followers by taking them apart and washing in paraffin. All clean now, just gotta find a way of drying them thoroughly before oiling again:

Marked out the holes for it here (gotta get a decent 40mm holesaw to drill it):

Then got a bit carried away and pondered these modifications while I'm at it: lol
