BT7 engine for my Tri-Carb Rally recreation.
.030” over bored, new pistons, had to sleeve two bores, new mains and rod shells, etc., etc.
Checked and triple checked.
Timing gear marks, check.
15 links mark to mark, check.
#1 piston at TDC, with valves “on the rock,” check.
Distributor drive at 10 past 8ish, check.
Head now on and torqued, will re-torque on the weekend.
Rocker shaft, etc. is next.
Then check valve timing for the final time and bend tabs on timing gear lock washers and timing cover on. :encouragement:

Re: The lump is growing .

I had a lump like that as well, mine was growing rapidly. Experts thought it was terminal, but through a dedicated program of diet and exercise, I came through healthier and more fit than ever before.
