REV..
Im glad it finally landed..Aust Post was correct in saying 3 months...

I dont see the best part??? the ring!

The orange tape is HK wing tape..Have rolls of it...

That case brng was the start of all my problems..wouldn't come out..
The engine has done a lot of run time..On the bench was well over an hour. I too was surprised at the clys.
Were the valve guides ok with the new valves.

Oh and the OS had its 1st problem on the weekend..The manifold welding broke off in mid flight...Have some good vid footage of it hitting the prop during flight...

I ran up the radial replacement engine in the Gillmore not the same...
Ah, yes, the ring. I have left that packed in the box. It will turn up eventually

Problem with that tape is, when you pull it off, the orange stays [:@] Remember the well packed pistons

Bearings gave me a headache too...

Valve guides and valves are perfect. Just needed new springs, retainers and rings.

Really sorry about that manifold... welded that years ago. Hope not much damage?!

Rgds,
