Thanks. Yes 10,000 on a 970s which loved to rev.

The lead separators are just to keep things tidy. Good for if you pull them off, you dont confuse which one goes where, but more for looks.

Hi 'm a late comer but am very interested in what you did. I am changing my colour on my mini to what we call Tangerine but it appears to ber the same colour as yours. When I bought mine it had a1100 race engine with a 300 degree race cam in it but the tappets were noisy so I took off the tappet cover and found the gap on number 1 inlet valve to be about 25mm or 1 inch! so I decided to take the engine out but the hoist jammed and then the gantry came apart so it took me awhile to rebuild before I could think of putting in another engine which I'm in the process of doing now. I have a Basil Green stage 1. so am quite interested to see what it does.Just for info Basil green built the "Perana" Fords back in the '70's.
