One of these
caused one of those
which via some of this
became one of these on Saturday - some 9 months after the original opportunity
Learnt a lot about XK engines and cylinder heads. Remembered how much I dislike fitting the bottom hose on the radiator. And did some research into engine bay colours too.
Hopefully just a bit of tinkering left before weather warms up and I can add a few more miles.

Nice one, well done, what pistons are they?
Fantastic! was that a dropped Valve?
Phil looks like it you can just see the remains of the stem at about 2 o’clock

Yes - looked as if it failed at the point of the weld. Then even managed to punch a little hole in the top of the piston. How I laughed…

Looks like std 9:1 pistons before they had the domes.
