With the carefully selected parts, the top of the engine was ready to bolt together. Here I applied a bit of sealing compound, and later some anti seize lube on the bolts, before torquing down the head bolts.
We had some problems while installing the rocker shafts. Even with extra care, the rubber o rings were cut by the edge of the casting.
Te original rubber has square-edges.
I modified them and turned one edge down a bit. It was much easier to install them.
Measuring the timing gear line-up was a two man job... I mean actually a one woman-and-a-man job. My one-and-only did the job perfectly.
With the original shims modified a bit, the miss-alignment is now under 0.05mms
Setting the cam timing with 0.1mms valve gap. Note the "professional" chain tensioners :-).
New camshaft tensioner oil feeds installed. They came with blue zink plating. How ugly :-P...
... I had to replate them.
After double checking the cam timing I set the valve gaps one-by-one.
New oil cooler.
