engine story continued

after reading a few other build blogs, it was noted that there was clearence issues with the sump, so whilst the engine was out i took about shortening it, approx 17mm was removed internally from the sump which overall takes about 25mm off the external measurement, the oil pick up was shortend and brazed back on, the base of the sump was machined flat, before a 3mm plate of aluminium welded into place, a dash fitting was then added to act as the sump drain,
