We have machined a temporary nylon arrangement for simple oil filtration ready for this very brief engine first run as we do not have the original gauze. However, provision will be made to have a discrete modern oil filter within the housing before the next run.
Below we are dressing some supercharger induction flange faces before a final oil stone to true.
Below, next flange for dressing..
Here is some final work to enable the adjuster nuts to nip the follower/rocker side faces when completing the valve clearance adjustment. We have machined new 0.015" brass washers to replace the distorted original copper items which may have allowed the valve clearance adjustment to migrate.
Valve adjustment with this eccentric bush arrangement (not just unique to Wolseley) is tricky as you must have all adjustment positions in a similar place on the eccentric bush. If you do not keep this in mind, you can run some "eccentric" valve timing from cylinder to cylinder as the rotating adjuster motion drags the foot of the follower away from the centre line of the camshaft, altering that particular valve's timing in comparison with the next.
Although not obvious in the photo below, the bush in the middle of this follower / rocker is eccentric. Rotating this repositions the follower on the cam to change the "tappet" clearance. It is then nipped firmly with the thin washer and nut to lock to the follower faces.
