Another small update. Never built and engine before so this is a learning experience. Thought I would have a play and see how it went together. SO I have stacked it all together and although I took this pic before hand. I got the cam in as well. It seems surprisingly easy. I just need to order some gaskets and bolts and I can start putting it together properly.

The shell is now painted! It's looks epic!

Deadline is for the IMM next year. If I pull my finger out and carry on doing lots of overtime I see no reason why it won't be ready for brooklands.
