Rush jobs for the TSOA National November 1

I guess I've been relatively lucky just needing to change cams and upgrade discs and pads on my white PI. This is Ron Marians TR6 engine. It ran a cam journal at the Wanneroo TSOA sprint but upon stripping the cause of the journal failure was the adjacent lobe failing which literally filled the oilways with swarf causing the cam to partially seize in the block (no bearings) and then get into the mains and big ends... yikes. I helped out my selling Ron a original TR5 cam that I had picked off ebay for 50 quid a few years back.. it was in perfect original nick but didn't have the 2-rings identification although the TR5 Part no. was scribed into a flat as per early PI cams. Hence the reason it went cheap...

The motor is now running and feels strong (these photos are a few days old) after a crank grind, cam bearings line bored and spitty bearings inserted + new rings and a hone.

This is Martin Eyers TR8 which is in the process of being reshelled after a major incident on the Targa West event where Martin hit a concrete wall and comprehensively reshaped his bodywork. I helped source a new shell which has had to be completely repainted and now is being trimmed. One of the complications with this car is it is fitted with a Discovery 2 4.0litre EFI V8 so imagine the one off wiring loom which needs to be re-installed!!!

Needs to be ready in 6 days time.....
