Engine assembly 4.

I assembled the cylinder head.


New valve springs, that work best with the camshaft.


One point that is prone to oil leaks on a mini engine is the timing cover area. I picked the best from my collection...


And sanded it a bit to get a flat surface.


Look what I found in my loft: a nos cast iron case water pump. It was the original fitment on period mini engines. Long out of production. It is my gift for Easter :-).


Finally a bit of painting here and there.
