Dan, ah - hmm you got me all stuttering now …. Jeremy, I know that, but I didn’t feel it on the first and second ring.

- … as I already mentioned: The parts that appeared to be reusable, at this point are not good enough anymore to go into a new engine. - Today one more parcel with new parts arrived, including a new shaft and bushing and that means… - …I can finally start to reassemble the new fuel pump ![100_4474.JPG](https://59plymouth.net/uploads/default/original/1X/1afa23c7e88bc4863892c07d8bde2544e35dce20.jpeg) ![100_4440-2.JPG](https://59plymouth.net/uploads/default/original/1X/e424b80c4037e8f7dfdb4e5772ba2d08405c408c.jpeg) ![100_4390-1.JPG](https://59plymouth.net/uploads/default/original/1X/da4ef8273d1eb455ba7c7f488dbaedb9a41cc6ab.jpeg) ---

- Also the port for the distributor drive shaft was covered with sludge. Now it’s clean again and… - ready to receive the new oil bushing. Some oil on the surface and the new bushing will go in easier. - The old shaft is a good tool to drive the bushing in place. ![100_4452.JPG](https://59plymouth.net/uploads/default/original/1X/e759c20751b6e2cdd8843cb9ea48b06fa499be39.jpeg) ![100_4451.JPG](https://59plymouth.net/uploads/default/original/1X/37b7a2d58be32e05906baa3ff932e8246d555727.jpeg) ![100_4450.JPG](https://59plymouth.net/uploads/default/original/1X/8479473bd5f7cbb8aab7bd683073ce1cda2e60f0.jpeg) ---

- Using a strong screw driver the new bushing goes in place. - Almost done. - For now there’s nothing more to do on the bottom end, except waiting for the next parts to come. To protect it from dust I wrap it in plastic. I think it’s time to go for the cylinder heads now. ![101_4449-3.JPG](https://59plymouth.net/uploads/default/original/1X/ebebd56d7f9ecf4bfdd45da5f3783ed8b99f9014.jpeg) ![100_4460.JPG](https://59plymouth.net/uploads/default/original/1X/4c5996144bbf2d0a94a25e66c60a8a157ed38f9b.jpeg) ![100_4453.JPG](https://59plymouth.net/uploads/default/original/1X/f6409dc4007450e57750bde39d93cf2f34181ca6.jpeg) ---

Hello Group, here comes the next bunch of pictures: As I’m waiting for the next parts to come I’ll use the time for the cylinder heads. Do you still remember these pictures … - 705 - cylinder head? - rusted and/or burned valve seats? - slugged valves? … and … ![100_2517.JPG](https://59plymouth.net/uploads/default/original/1X/4c0af048adca9e5a780373b3151519fed7ebe71c.jpeg) ![100_2511.JPG](https://59plymouth.net/uploads/default/original/1X/825eb6d3f7d1bce28e8dbb25055d592fd263dafe.jpeg) ![100_2373.JPG](https://59plymouth.net/uploads/default/original/1X/89790e0d26b32067159e0c6fcd9e44b414b9513f.jpeg) ---

Well, that’s all over now and it’s a real pleasure to see how the work goes on. - clean heads with glass blaster - Some valve seats have been almost “eaten up”, so I didn’t really have a choice. Hardened valve seats is not a “nice to have” feature, in fact it was the only way to go. - closer view ![100_4398-3.JPG](https://59plymouth.net/uploads/default/original/1X/ad2c9bd4232f5321197a8d1509b1c4c705345123.jpeg) ![100_4399.JPG](https://59plymouth.net/uploads/default/original/1X/31ab88e7f583f7a765d0b9101b6ec0a3ae27da48.jpeg) ![100_4403.JPG](https://59plymouth.net/uploads/default/original/1X/1377cc081d2e2711718b0f5b9c7ab33db062b7dd.jpeg) ---

- slugged valves are a sign of worn valve guides. Take a closer look and you’ll see the new bronze guide - … from outside - machining valve seats. ![100_4405.JPG](https://59plymouth.net/uploads/default/original/1X/12432ce65521c795985d926325b5c3e969dd22e0.jpeg) ![100_4402.JPG](https://59plymouth.net/uploads/default/original/1X/f195ec783a78b943e0e33687b682521b9b0990ff.jpeg) ![100_4401.JPG](https://59plymouth.net/uploads/default/original/1X/bdf622685e5addecb6045feb0b9095f8eac4d44c.jpeg) ---

- Well, it’s time to reassemble the heads. The weather here in Portugal is still good, but it can change in an instant and become wet. It’s better to hurry up now. - The valves came with the engine overhaul kit from Egge. If I would do it again, then I would invest a little more money in better valves. Some of the valves showed a little difference on the head. Although we are talking about very small differences it causes a different pre-load on these valves. I had to make some shims to achieve the correct and equal pre-load. - see the pictures. ![100_4677.JPG](https://59plymouth.net/uploads/default/original/1X/fdabd0b6832b2e5e705efacf39a8bf27d0c65259.jpeg) ![100_4676.JPG](https://59plymouth.net/uploads/default/original/1X/da076f716dd7942da4593cd4184181420bcd74f7.jpeg) ![100_4592.JPG](https://59plymouth.net/uploads/default/original/1X/e73852f8f1d3d3ac92026473c8d219ac94b9a10b.jpeg) ---
