Engine Preps

Before the engine can be test-run, a few jobs need to be carried out, first re-position the dry sump breather tank so as not to get in the way of the bonnet hinge.

Fit and connect battery, fuel system, accelerator pedal and a few simple controls and lights.

Fit oxygen probes.

Wrap catalytic converters to avoid heat from exothermic reaction discolouring the silencers.

Add fibre sound reducers.

Cats fitted.

Had to add a heat shield to protect the brake line from exhaust heat.

Exhausts fitted.

Thought I would take a few pics with the fisheye:

That's it for now, just add fuel, oil, water and run (the engine), but for now we are off to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands for two weeks....
