Exactly right, you would just be purchasing someone else’s problem. You definitely get 10 out of 10 for effort, you’re storming through this

Good evening all. Hope your well.
Have a couple of hours on the engine tonight and so far all look good.
Just one thing i found and thats there was no gasket on the rear crank oil seal. is this how the factory did it or had some one done a bodge job?
Got plenty to clean up to!

Hi @robhtid
More photos will follow this week but basically i will be weighting the big ends and little ends of each rod using this setup i have made. Then once i have a list of the end weights i will pick out the lightest rod and note the end weights then match the other 3 rods by removing small amounts of material from the ends or the rods until they all wight the same.
Its a time consuming and tedious job but i like things like this. Done a few American V8's in the past and its well worth the effort i think.

Aup lads.
So heres a little update on the build.
The front axle is now totally stripped down and i have given the casing a good clean. Hopefully i will soon start to give it a good going over with the wire wheel and some paint.
I have also started to blast all of the aluminium parts i have.
This weekend i will be working on the stripping the landy down as i still have the rear tub and axle to remove.

Stripped the Transfer box down today and took the brake and clutch peddle assembly off the bulk head.
I was hoping to have a good day outside but it was raining for most to the day.
tomorrow i will have a good day stripping more of the bulkhead down.
All of the aluminium engine parts have blasted well. Still need to do the bell housing and the rear of the gearbox.
