Black GT- Engine Rebuild (56k be aware!)

[hardhitter]

This is what I've been spending most of my time doing recently. It had previously blown a crank oil seal after covering over 140k. When I had stripped it down, the big end bearing shells had spun in the rods, meaning they were knackered.

I had the block honed (glaze burst) and checked by the machinist who said it didn't need decking.

Here are (most of) the parts I've had for the engine rebuild for my black GT:

















Powder coated (satin black) sump, water pipe and cam cover:



Gearbox cleaned:



Engine block being sprayed matt black



With core plugs painted:



Head painted:



How it looks now:
