Thank you Dave - good feedback. I will put the warning in the lessons learned document that we have created for use by future generations. I doubt that anybody will be looking to refire the engine in the medium term - but you never know. We do actually have two big end bearing caps that have not been used since they were reconditioned with fresh white metal. Found some other interesting spares under the wooden walkway in front of the engine too. A bit of a treasure trove - and I will be pulling some out to clean up and display.
Thanks - Gordon
