The engine looks mint again. I love it with the cam pulleys exposed like that!

I thought you had a rocker cover with the "L" part of the plug cover smoothed off to go on?

Is it just a mock up? Because won't you need to take it all out again, to get the box on.

Only a few bits will need removing as I can lower the engine down slightly and fit the box from underneath , that's why there is no clamps on any boost pipes so it can all move
