Engine, part 3

Hello there,

Some progress has happened.

Pistons, cranckshaft, camshaft and timing chain is now assembled. Nothing special there, we've just enjoyed of assembling new and clean parts. 😊
We bought paint for the engine, and we're gonna paint block, heads and timing chain cover just with paint brush, and more visible parts with spray gun.
Now, when waiting, that Mrs. Bigfix will paint that motor, I (Mr. Bigfix) cleaned some parts of the valves and heads, like rocker arms etc. Oil passages of rocker arms were all way bunged-up by some sticky and oily stuff. Luckily oil has somehow made it's way to rocker arms and pushrod ends, because they were in pretty good shape after all.
