Well those that know about my Humber Scout and the issues it had after its 1st restoration overseas... :shocked: is almost finished from its new restoration!!!! 2 years later....
Radiator fluid was leaking, thought I had a bad block, head was never honed and was uneven, fixed that, but most of the head bolts were stripped and loose and you couldn't torque the head down good enough, so leaked bad...
Engine will be back from the shop in a week or so with balanced bearings and an internal steam cleaning, new pistons and rings, gaskets etc. The interior goodies that were missing for the CES kit and engine compartment equipment has been located or painstakenly reproduced.
