Wow, that's a lovely-looking engine, well done! Is it all still moving? Any images I post on my personal builds are free to be used and shared under Creative Commons Attribution license, which means you can do what you want with them, on the condition you mention I'm the author.
Happy building :-) http://www.model-space.com/gb/

Thanks everyone for your comments.Michu it is not moving anymore.I think there is too much slop in the gears and The flywheel now covers the only place you can access the crankshaft to move it. The next step after adding the cylinder head is to put the bolts on the head.Yuo have to drill 0.6mm holes for the bolts and then place the individual bolts into the holes. I think Mr Hiro must have a sadistic streak because adding the bolts to the cylinder head is like doing microsurgery.Even with a magnifying loupe and very fine tweezers it was REALLY challenging to get these bolts seated.A lost quite a few as they pinged out of the tweezers.You get quite a few spares. Anyway here is a pic showing the size of the bolts that you have to put in the cylinder head cover.I am leaving the other cover off so you can see the rocker arms. darbyvet attached the following image(s):

SO here is the latest update.I am now adding all the detail parts to the engine.Next step is add the wiring and then on to the carbs.It is getting quite heavy now and a bit tricky to hold. I am waiting for the paint to dry on the oil filter and then that will be added too. darbyvet attached the following image(s):

SOme more detail added to the GTO engine.The oil filter is in place now and the timing belt. I also built the stand, but it looks like it will need a bit of modification because the engine is not level. next job is the wiring loom from the distributor to the spark plugs.The kit provides coated wire, but it is too thick and hard to shape so I am using suture material Carl darbyvet attached the following image(s):

Finally got around to finishing this build.it was definitely a learning experience.The MFH kits are just amazing with the level of detail, but they are quite challenging to build.They need meticulous planning and test fitting and the soft white metal is not easy to work with at all.
