Pictures of today. Getting very close to being finished now.
I've got the vehicle, just need the boat.

One thing I learned the (VERY) hard way was to spray down the cylinders with WD-40 if I let my engine sit for any extended perior of time; turning her over occasionally.Maltelec wrote:Pictures of today. Getting very close to being finished now.
Such beautiful job you guys have done. I would love to see more videos of her running and more pictures... Can never get enough.

Just fabulous to see a new triple coming together Simon. What an awful lot of high class workmanship has gone into it. John.

You can see John in the odd photo who has done most of the work on the engine.
