Crank now in and Sump on!
Work has intervened and today first time back on the engine for 2 weeks. Oliver getting very cross as he needs to finally determine the mounting positions and the relative position of gearbox to engine. Got the the crank in and it's surprisingly difficult to turn once torqued up but we do have 8 new pistons each 4" diameter to move up and down in their bores. Hope all is ok. Sump on with new bolts and spring washers. Flywheel on and looking good. Torqued up the flywheel nut, hoping my crankshaft thread will be ok, to 350 ft lbs (me on end of 2ft spanner!) . Oliver and the other boys have been at some party at Shelsley Walsh over the weekend and thankfully he looked pleased on his rather hung over return.
