Reminds me of me last mini ( number 14 in the list ) I slipped in a set of megga polished flat tops with the old cooper head and chucked a jacknight gear box on a kad rear end and I also de seamed with led Filling used to charge 200 a corner
Hmmm I do miss it
Think you'll all agree rot is the biggest pain in bum dam scuttles

Would assembly lube impact end float when measuring during assembly or would oil be preferable?

[@thomasclassicandmodern]

Entirely personal preference. We use both dependant on the timeframe that it's likely to take for the engine completion / install

Just a word of advise on the video... would be better to have the camera closer to the engine for all the video so we can see up close throughout.

Thanks for the feedback, we will bear that in mind 👍👍
