The engine on the stand, after finding a good engineering shop to get the right bolts from in the quality I wanted.
The inlet manifold with the 40mm Capri weber on it - check out the coolant port, the way the coolant never got flushed and formed a jelly gooey mess over time!
Engine minus rocker cover, water pump, thermostat and housing, crank and auxiliary pulleys. Despite the coolant marks on the outside where the water pump / pipes have leaked coolant, the engine is very what-you-see-is-what-you-get, nothing stood out in a bad way, of the parts we want to keep.
The cam and associated parts. It's all remarkably clean and tidy, no unusual wear, even no stains from oil being left too long before being changed. From what we could see, in good condition! Below, the exhaust manifold studs are a bit rusty as you expect from being 25 yrs old. All good!
