Now we all know that when you get anything painted, plated, polished, ground to check it over insides and such. So after a bit of brushing i was left with this.

After a while of spraying carb cleaner and using a wheel spoke brush it had come up a bit better.

Got the inlet all build up, gave it a wax first ;) everythings got new gaskets and all bolts and nuts replaced with stainless. Which is lovely but it will be cover with the top hat cover, so totaly point less but just cause you cant see it doesnt mean its not there..lol

With that built, time to fit everything to the block thats under the inlet..

Even the pipes under here have polished jubilee clips..

All built up with the top hat on, yes its only painted.

Cambelt backing plate on, held on with more stainless... ;)

When you have probs getting the rear gearbox mount on, cause the bolts fall to far in the sockut... You find Jake Pebble and Robert Stone ...
They stoped the bolts sitting to far in to the socket.
