The cylinder Block and Crank with it’s newly balanced flywheel arrived back yesterday  From Chiltons ,Here in brisbane.

As per usual the standard of their work is exemplary with the block bored to 4th oversize ,the crank crack tested and polished with the Flywheel modified to suit the balance of the crank.  The block was tanked with all of the plugs etc removed to blear the oilways and water jacket of any sludge etc. The red finish is Glptol applied by mercedes back in 1970,which even the  cuastic tank wont remove.
