Well, decided I wanted to get the jeep running for my Christmas holidays!

Started by pulling the engine out







Surprising how good this thing ran, when the rings from pots 1,3 and 7 came out like this.



Motor was sent off for machining and balancing around early December, few days later we had all the bits back. Took it down to drew at Pacer Mechanical for assembly. Bit of detail when into the machining to make sure the compression was right, but turned out perfect on 9.8:1.









Back in the car with the 3000rpm stall fitted





All up and running. Have to say, it's a bit of a menace now!
