Thanks for the comment.
That's good to know about those hepu pumps, who is the supplier for those pumps? I have a few of the good quality bosch pumps left, so that's what I used. I would like to find a rebuilder for the old pumps, I sure do have a pile of those....

Got a few things done last night to the engine, got the freeze plugs installed, the cleaned up manifold installed, and timing belt. Getting there.

Hey Anders, any updates on this? Looks like it's getting close... gonna have it running in time for XXX?

Anders!! that engine looks amazing. I bet that thing will run like a swiss watch. I hope you are able to get it ready in time for the meet. I am sure you already know this but remember to pay attention to detail during the last steps as that is when most mistakes or items are overlooked.

Thanks for the comment. Yep the last few steps are where most get impatient and want to get it done because it's so close... but that's where it takes most of the time. All those dang little things!

Wagon is in the shop, it's getting ready for the transplant since it decided to put some oil in the coolant.
Engine is coming together, should be fully assembled tonight, but ran into some problems with a valve that could not get adjusted correctly. I think the seat was cut too deep or the stem is too long. So I had to install another head. I guess I won't be running the 32mm head quite yet, I will need to disassemble it again... then either put in a new seat or cut the stem. Yay!

I'm hoping to have it finished this Friday, it might be finding a new home to a member here, either way its getting put together like I'm keeping it for myself if the sale falls through..
