became this

All parts painted, Irmscher cover and oil sump powdercoated

Belt has to come off again, is not yet tensioned, will fit an adjustable cam pulley. And cam needs to be balanced.
Used only OEM seals and parts (even the oil filter lollol )

Injection has to be reassembled and ports ported, all parts are already cleaned

Loving the spider Very rare and unique car.

Wish i had the time and space for a major rebuild like this

And well the cash lol Top Job

Looks very well Steve!

Lovely Steve, top job :)

Did the spider come with the later metric engine, I see you're using a metric oil filter?

Dec

Keep at it Steve:thumb:

Superb job Steve!
And thanks for adding my spider to the list :thumbs:

@Dec: I'm not sure yet, which engines came with the metric filter, but I think all of them except the UK ones came with the metric ones

some good progress there fella :thumb: looks well

Finished the engine
