so, an update!

took the head and valves to South Wales Pistons for them to check the face and guides and cut the seats and valves.









Piper double springs





o.e stem seals, branded SKF.



pushed into place with a socket and a dab of oil.

---

fitting the springs and collets, what a faff! dab of grease helps, also not having the cam ladders gives and extra inch or so of clearance, I wrapped the head of the spring compressor in tape so the lifter bores weren't damaged.




Cleaned and refaced the tappets.






checked the clearance to the freshly re-fitted oil spray bars, looooads, could sling a 96mm crank in there easily.



fitted and torqued up the crank, fitted the windage tray oil pump and the dipstick guide.





new hockey stick seals for number one mains cap




Turned back over.




o.e steel gasket.
