B60 on it is pallet before it was fitted
Dry sump or oil tank whatever is your preference
Before the engine was refitted the hull cross tube was removed and the petrol tank was pulled back into the compartment
Fitting the engine and after nearly everything was connected up
Spot the mistake... I'll give you a clue *** pipes
Spider hidden in the Oil cooler coils
Engine mounts solid Aluminium
Engine and Transmission Lifter drawing
Scrap B60 partially stripped down
The B60 has the inlet valves mounted in the cylinder head and the exhaust valves mounted in the block (I over E) today it would be considered to be a rather archaic design feature, but not uncommon in the 1940's - 1950's
Oil pick up pipes
Close up and the oil collector plate?
Fuel Pump
Cooling system
Radiator overflow hull mounted
Fan
Red fan bearing gone, nut / split pin missing and metal removed from the fan itself. Silver fan; bearing fine nut / split pin rusty, removed split pin and replaced with another. Engine requires shimming under the solid engine mounts on top of the sump and the collars on the tubes require adjusting also to square the tank and fan cowl up. As soon as my hydraulic ram for my engine lifter comes back from repair I'll be contemplating removing the engine... oh joy!
