And not a torque wrench to be seen...."Eeee lad we put them togeter by feel in them days!!" Pity about the oil leaks the customer had to live with.

I was interested to see the way the engine was whacked up to 7000rpm from new on the dyno!

Now I've seen the whole thing it makes me want to brew a cuppa and have a Marmite sandwich.
