Heeeeyyy Dats looking flash as eh. How long before you turn the key? So tell me the secret of the shiny rocker cover and don't just say elbow gease. Your secret will be safe with me, just post it here and I promise I won't tell a soul.

The secret of the rocker cover is... er.... ebay usa actually. I polished all the other parts though, like the timing cover and manifold with a wire brush, then sandpaper then autosol.

Have turned the key and the car runs a treat. Once it's run in Ill get a pro to look over it to make sure it's correctly timed and that I haven't misseed anything.

Hey,

These twits stock the pulley,

but good luck with their defective online shopping cart, or getting them to answer emails. I got lucky and found mine on ebay USA for a little less as it turns out :thumbsup:

Word of warning though - these pulleys do not quite fit onto the key on the end of your crank. You'll need to file a smidge off the sides of the key to get the pulley to slide on without breaking the pulley, the crank, the oil slinger etc.]

Cheers, d

I bought my pistons from them. Plus 1.0mm forged flat top Ross Racing Pistons for a tad under $700.00 delivered. Compared to nearly $1600 here in Oz to get them made. Had no hang ups, deal went very smoothly.

Cheers, D

Actually, I have tried ordering from them again. This time I filled out both my mailing details and the billing details (it says that this isn't necessary if they are identical) and the cart was able to process my order. I'm still dirty on them for not replying to my polite email, but there's no denying they have some great stuff for L series engines.

Changed to an electric fan on a thermo switch and tidied the last few things over the weekend. So that wraps up the engine build... until I have enough money for triples, and a stroker crank.

Now... time to paint the body.

That looks great man, very clean and tidy.

Am so tempted to give mine a good tidy up, but my wife will do unspeakable things to me if I head down that road again :P

Quick Q's: Did you make your strut brace, if so where did you get the turn buckle/adjuster from?

Cheers Dan
