Cylinders installed and heads (both sides)

Made some good progress, both sides now on and torqued down. 


Also installed pushrod tubes, small amount of sealant used where they seat into the head and case. 


Managed to source some "taller" nuts to gain more grip and are stronger than usual supplied rocker nuts (8.8 grade). On a previous engine had a failure here and as such being a bit more cautious. 



SCAT rocker covers on to keep it clean in the heads whilst I fettle with the tinware. 

Prefer the CSP style but struggle to fit them on my car 1200 64, as they make the engine wider.
