That was great. I would love to see my 0470 go together like that.

That's fun. Are you going to build up an engine for your next bird now?

Haha. As much as I love this stuff, no. I'll just buy a brand new engine. *Gulp*

Ha, the music caught my ear. "In the Hall of the Mountain King". I played it Solo on a Tuba in front of a theatre audience as one of the hoops to jump through to join "Modern Music Masters" in high school 46 years ago.

That was quite entertaining. I love the last bit with the left over parts. Priceless.

My question is why would anyone ever want to overhaul an engine with SU carbs and their damned needle centering difficulties? Maybe it was just to much finesse for an old tractor boy.

It is better to be late in this world, than early in the next.

...and how about "balancing" the intake system by listening to the suck of each carb through a rolled up newspaper. That was the science I used on my TR-3 about 50 years ago.
