Timing

 

We have gears - both the timing gears for the bottom of the distrubutor and connecting the camshaft and crankshaft. There's even some pieces to hold these in the right places respectivly so the eventual timing is correct. It's all looking a bit clever to me. 

The gear on the bottom of the dizzy is interesting - it's one of those engine components that I have known about, but never seen. Plastic kit modelling can be educational!

Juggling this all into the crank case is a bit of a fiddle, but once you work out which holes the various pistons go it, th whole lot drops together nicely. All the gear mesh too, I wish this was always the case with models I build...
