Very nice- what cleaning did you do to engine casing?

(Might need to resize or re-space your pics? )

Cleaning ? not sure if u are taking the piss but the engine is as spotless as it can be the rusty lump on the front is the starter motor. As for the the pics I`m shit with the camera so cant be expected to be any better uploading them Photobucket is a MARE !!

[Blackal]

Engine is spotless, I wondered if you had bead blasted and re-coated?

If you go back and edit your post-

Hit <ENTER> between each image code, so that only one appears on each line.

It's having 4 on same line that is causing the anomaly.

That's how I did enter the pics I`ll try enter twice between each pic then.
As for the engine I bought a little parts cleaner from machine mart but also did a lot of scrubbing with hot soapy water. Also toolstation is doing a carb cleaner its about £3 a tin and it is amazing don't get the brake cleaner nowhere near as good

That any better
