Scrap rotors make the perfect jig for grinding the side seals to the correct length ................. I got through 000's of junior hacksaw blades

Wow, that LIM looks superb, better than new

That pipework is definitely a piece of art - hopefully, at least the top part will be visible to admire with the hood up

Black is the new ....... Well black

Shame to cover the prestigne alloy finish, but will only oxidise over time.

Want clean finish, not tarts handbag that I'm too scared to drive

Very sensible. You don't want to drive handbags. Terrible handling and no brakes!

Well gentlemen it's back together. Paint next....

I'm not doing the plates one colour housings a different one,

All one colour so mask bits off and get the 6" roller out !!

For anyone wanting to rebuild their own engine if this is the only piece of advice I can give.....

Check, double check, and triple check your corner seal springs are aligned correctly and clean off excess super glue from the apex seals properly and clean with solvent.

I ran out of swear words this evening !!!
