Just put a few more things on the engine, its starting to look smart now! Ive got a new water pump on order and a few bits and bobs off to be bright zinc plated (theres a few bits on there already done). Next Job is to sort the exhaust manifold out!
It looked like this a year ago!

I clean it.....duh!
Ill probably just clean it now and then, having crap building up on it isnt a good idea!

Oh, and might it be an idea to make a breather for the rocker cover?

Yes -or get one with a breather - but you will survive if there are two breathers - one on the cam follower chest and another wherever you can get access - some use the fuel pump hole if not being used for a fuel pump!
