Work continues on the motor. After seeing Satan's
TS 875 build thread, I had to do a quick search on standpipes to find out what they were, and then a quick email to Jac Mac to find out WTF they did! Did I mention I know nothing about motors?
Anyway after some clarification, standpipes have been made and fitted. There was also mention of lifter bore mods for oiling the roller lifters....
Whilst I was quite happy to scratch away at the lifter bores with a hacksaw blade in true Kiwi fashion a la Jac Mac, and no doubt it would have worked fine, Lim threw up his hands in horror and said we need to make a tool for that.... Photo's are of the Mk1 tool which did the job. However when we designed the tool we didn't realise the lifter bores were not parallel to the cylinder bores, so the Mk2 tool has a pivoting fulcrum under the lift nut to accommodate the angle.
