Slow Monster rebuild

Engine looks beautiful btw, proper job!

I'd park the alternator issue for now, run it in then at oil change time replace and retorque it to the latest spec/parts and not lose any more sleep.

The main problem with these engines is they are so goddamn noisy normally you can't tell. I initially thought the squealing noise was the clutch on my 748 but when it stalled and wouldn't restart l realised and managed to catch it before it wrecked the engine. It still did a fair bit of damage but thankfully the crank was salvageable.
