Have put in new pistons and barrels also done a few mods.
Engine runs but needs to run-in.
Fitted some stainless pipes (Lomax? no-heat exchanger). Alternator side needs a new mounting

Fabricated and fitted a magnetic clutch for the fan. Can turn it off when required.

Nice work!

I like the switchable fan, looks like a bloody clever idea that, any videos of it working? Whats the reason behind the remote filter and cooler?

With the new fan v. difficult to have std oil cooler
Off roading has blocked cooler with mud.

So moved cooler and at the same time did a remote filter.
Engine runs OK with new fan but need to road test.
Had an electric fan but no where near as efficient as the original.

nice work pete
wouldnt mind getting one of those 'clutchable' fans if they work well.
Well my new recon engine i am trying quite hard not to take in lots of water! i reckon my old engine died because of mud in radiator or over revving.
have you got electric fan on oil raditor?
have you got your tuned pipe on now?

Refitted the LB tuned pipe, sounds raspy again.
No fan on the oil cooler, yet? may not be required
