I'll see if I can get some photos sorted when I do the timing.Just broke a tang off me Rad
Both the screws holding the rad cover were siezed and I were drillin' one of them oot, and it snapped orf. Gonna have a think about how to fix that one, don't fancy buying another rad. Painted a few bits, the water pump and the oil filter cover. Used Hammerite smooth Silver this time, i think the Simoniz Engine Enamel I used previously is gonna be quite a bit lighter than the original engine paint colour. Hmmmmm...Oh yeah, The Pa Larkin Gals, Cindy Post an Sonia Doorstep
