Great video! Wish I lived nearer so I could join. Question, I notice there is some pitting on the waterpump mounting surface. The block I'm slowly building has some similar pitting. Is this cause for concern leak wise? And if so is there anything we can do to prevent it. Cheers, Connor
It usually does not cause and issue, however it is possible to resurface if needed. The prevention is to use the correct strength of antifreeze and change the coolant at the recommended intervals.
Some serious pitting on that block !!
Nice to see Rudi make an appearance, it sounds like a monster engine.
He’s been on this for years, it will be a lovely motor once finished
I'm sure I have a photo of you at one of AC's gearbox workshops from years ago Pat!
Shame the workshop is so far from mine need to get that sleeper engine built 🥴
I wish we had an engine club here in Holland. Great initiative!

How do I get a slot in ‘Engine Club’?
