It is so nice to finally be putting things back on the engine after a long period of just removing and cleaning stuff and waiting for parts.

Sump is back on, new pushrod seals, couple of new head tins arrived today and are already installed and now I just have to play with the 3-4 head tin to make it fit just a bit better in one spot. After that, try to remember how the other ten pieces of cooling tins all go together in their 3-D puzzle to get all the tins back in place and the shroud back on.

I came up with an anti-mouse screen over the fan inlet while waiting for parts, so maybe this will never happen again, but I never would have gotten in there to fix these pesky oil leaks otherwise, so everything’s good.

Heading to Newport, RI tomorrow to visit the Audrain Classic Auto Museum with a couple of friends and will post a few photos later. Maybe I’ll see Donald Osborne or Jay Leno there, right?
