Yep the 6l in an 88inch is mad. 7l is certifiably insane. Gonna be a full engine bay!

Snigger, engines shorter than the Rover heap of **** just a little wider. We'll see how it looks once it goes in
Gotta raise the suspension first though I think, leave the boxes as low as possible then add skid guards means I get a decent rear prop length
Can't wait to fire this monster up

They work great, Done lots of valves/ heads with that on VW air cooled
Used a electric drill with variable speed set very low to do the hard part, then used a hand lapper for final, then spot bluing to check all is well

My old man has one on the drill.. to be honest its more of a pain than by hand.. the grit is harder to control with the drill attachment

hi.how can it be more of a pain using a drill??.just load the valve seat with a small amount of paste then away you go.
