Capri - Restoration (2) White 1972 1600 XL [7]

After a few days off, I continued the cleaning of engine parts. The pistons took a fair bit of time removing the carbon build up but they have come up pretty well. The cylinder head was next & I have cleaned it before removing the valves. Other parts such as the bearing covers, engine mounts, rocker cover and pulley wheels have been wired brushed. I have a stud on the inlet manifold (not yet cleaned) that has to come out & that may be a bit problematic.
Last week, I also ordered some new parts (rings, bearings, fuel pump, welch plugs) from Autobarn, Macgregor and they arrived today. I find them very prompt & can get the gear really quickly. So I have got most of the important parts ready to put it all together once everything has been cleaned & painted.
