Yep that is it, imho.

A pity Humbrol don't do 1 litre tins.

I used a protec colour called smoke blue. Looks to be an almost perfect match

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 .
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.

Got the timing cover and water pump fitted, apologies to the previous posters I kinda went out on a limb re colour

Oil filter didn't have a lock washer so I made one then fitted sump

Couldn't get my head around assembling the rocker gear from the manual on the bench........ so assembled it in situ
