     Just kidding really, youre probably right Wally426 that's the correct color dampner in the pictures. :cheers: I painted mine black for looks and added the white TDC line for contrast. The timing tape takes care of the that item though.

     So when are you going to drop her in the bay BC?  How about a Youtube/live initial firing for us guys?? :stirpot:

     What a pain in the arse. Sometimes it's easier to load it with the trans on. Just need to raise the front end enough to get the tail shaft to clear the ground. Movin along tho bro. :cheers:

    the easiest way by far is to slide the engine in from the bottom fully assembled

    Finished the underside today. Except some problems getting the exhaustpipe to manifold correct on the driverside due to my big hands
    it went good. Found again some loose bolts from the previous restorer.

    My daughter will put the startup on youtube so watch out.  :bigsmile:

    It could be the starters natural noise..... My junkyard find Mini-starter sounds fine. But, my fathers "autopart store" mini-starter sounds like someone is digging into precious metal with a screwdriver...  :dunno:

    Maybe take the starter off and do a bench test, and check for noises that way :dunno:

    Could it be that I took the converter from the charger and the wearpattern is different?
