I think you should go a little easier with the "blue", apply with a stencil brush and just colour the surface.

Thanks, much appreciated!
You're absolutely right...I took that pic after I globbed it on. I used an acid brush to remove the excess before I inserted the valve.

After backtracking for nearly three months to modify my cam housings, I'm almost back to where I was.
But this gave me some time to make my own top dead center tool. Cost $20, worked perfect... ![]() I also had time to fabricate my own digital degree wheel. The rotary encoder was $50 and another $20 for the aluminum "fixturing"... ![]() Used the TDC tool to find calculated TDC... ![]() Set the DC43X-102 cams at 4.6mm lift at overlap for the 1-2-3 side... ![]() I was able to hit 4.58mm lift at overlap for the 4-5-6 side... ![]() Onward...

Would you be willing to write up a DIY on how you made the tools? I'm sure I could figure it out but a guide is always nice.

This should be the definitive build guide for a Mg case engine.

I bought a TDC tool from Amazon. It's got an internal thread of 3/8"-16 tpi... ![]() Removed the "stock" screw and tacked it to an 8" length of 3/4" diameter DOM tubing. Nothing magical about this, it just happened to be in front of me at the hardware store. A schedule 40 steel pipe would have been cheaper... ![]() On the other end, I tacked a washer and a 3/8" nut so I could snug the tool down. I drilled out the threads so the threaded rod could move freely... ![]() Last is a 12" threaded rod with a slight chamfer at the piston end with a 3/8"-16 tpi nut welded on the other end. I had planned to use another 3/8" nut as a locknut, but I didn't need it. Plus, I forgot to buy one... ![]() Overall, this contraption cost about $20. I could've made it for $15 if I was more frugal. I'll post the degree wheel when I have a chance...

Nicely done! I tried to make this but failed to get the 3mm threaded shaft on the angle finder connected before I mangled the circuit board. I ended up with some scrap. I did have a nice magnet attachment to the crankshaft though, did you use a magnet? Shane
