errr, why have you fitted the rubber cone in upside down???? 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

Where is that "like" button!!

One quick question, the oil fed pistons.. How do they spray all the bore when the rods in the middle?

Nice rebuild of that shell, I'm sure your very proud.. Ps That silver paint is very nice :lol:

The idea of the jets is to cool the underside of the piston crown rather than lubricate the bore. They are from some BMW or other...
