Cams and rocker gear cleaned and dressed .Mix and match time from the two lumps to get the better bits .Con rod/end caps out the car lump don't look too hot ,only one passes muster so far so going to have to clean up the ones from the fire damaged lump .Rocker gear from stock .
Cams from fire lump as they have cleaned up far better .

Yep, should be able to do it at the w/end if no one else is able to do it. R30 lump in the w/shop with the dizzy in place, not sure how much it will help, should be easy to time anyway. :wink:
