Well a rather annoying twist in the tale. Installed the crank the other day after completing all pre assembly prep. Everything seemed ok bar a slight bit of clearancing needed on the girdle plate. Took everything off and found a whopper of a scratch on one of my main bearings. Annoyed doesn’t come close!
I know the block and crank were crystal clean so I can only assume that my old pot of assembly lube had become contaminated with a bit of grit or who knows what. What are the odds?!?
So, yet again, a thorough clean of block and crank before sealing away on clean bags while I await new bearings to arrive….. and a NEW bottle of assembly lube by @torcousa via @nimbusmotorsport

This is a message for Paul Davidson of Edinburgh or anyone who knows how to get in touch with him.
Paul - I sent out your speedo rings last week to the address as supplied on you paypal payment. However, they've been returned with the message
"address incomplete, addressee unknown"
I've e-mailed you last week but haven't had a response.
Can you please get in touch with me to arrange for a different (or updated) address.
Many thanks,
Dan
