Some Photos From my Rebuild

A broken valve on my race car led to the need for a new motor.  Fortunately Z Register member Andy had an F54 L28 block spare.  My head that had a fair bit of work was repairable.  Hope the photos are of interest.

    The pistons are WISECO.  It is now fully assembled, in car and running.  Started immediately (after crankinging to build some oil pressure) to a solid and satisfying whump, whump, whump.  With 11.4 compression it is running on avgas.  Will take it to the track later in the week for some initial running.

    Just to complete the photo essay some pictures of the motor in the car and the car on the trailer ready to go to the track for some mid-week testing and tuning.
