Yep that is it, imho.
A pity Humbrol don't do 1 litre tins.[smilebigeye]
I used a protec colour called smoke blue. Looks to be an almost perfect matchhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6080a161d8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f5b00e7454.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7e25013025.jpg
That's looking good Rod.
Cheers, Mick.
That looks like you stole my engine stand. Brother & I had two heavy deputy ones made when we had our steel & alum engineering business. We had bought one from Supercheap & when we mounted a LR or Jag motor in it the upright post would bend & the front of the engine would end up 200mm lower than the back. We made a support for the front but that only got in the way. Yours looks a dead copy of ours .[bighmmm]
AR I like seeing a freshly painted motor in the correct colour. Back in the days when I run the judging at All British Day I would tell the crew to quickly go around & pick 5 vehicles in each category then go back & ask to look at the engine bay . Under the bonnet would always produce the winning car.:BigThumb:
Got the timing cover and water pump fitted, apologies to the previous posters I kinda went out on a limb re colour[bigwhistle]

Motor seems to be nose down without wood block under flywheel housing
Attachment 151780 I think facial expressions tell it all............ is it normal to shim mounts?
