Steve,

Love the paint work, pink is not my colour, but that looks great. I am looking forward to seeing this one finished!

Had a bent pushrod when we pulled the rocker cover. I pulled the side plate off yesterday and lucky the piece of lifter didn't drop in the sump

Thanks,

Steve

Cheers, Steve D
