Looks awesome.

Cheers bud, Im quite impressed with the result, however, I'll repaint it with another coat later this summer, only has a thin layer of paint on, think I could get it looking better, can see thin spots in the paint. However, its in colour and it shines, so its all good!

Update!

I have had the Unleaded head skimmed, and have now painted it gloss black replacing the red that it was before. I also painted my rocker cover gloss black at the same time. I'm waiting for a Cooper freeflow and alloy inlet manifold, and will fit it all at once. Im hoping th valve seals are all in good condition.

























Smart hey!

I have also sprayed the radiator bracket to neaten things up abit, its not the best job, but look alot better than before.

Started taking out each valve one-by-one yesterday as I found the valve compression tool in the depths of the garage. Will need to grind in and clean up the valves, the top hats look fine and can be re-used, so quite happy about that. My alloy inlet manifold has arrived, just waiting for my cooper freeflow manifold to arrive, along with a new coil. When I have it all I will proceed to take off the old head and de-coke the pistons, and build up the top engine with my new performance bits.

Yes please would be greatful if you did

Found a nice set of Champion High Performance Ignition Leads in the shed, so decided to clean them up and number them with cable ties. Do they really give any better performance? I also fitted the new coil for now.









Getting there!

Edit: I know, the wiring to the coil is poor >.<

Just another small update, Ihave sprayed the freeflow manifold in high temperature paint. This should help it last abit longer!
