Hi Vashon

Good luck with the rebuild and I think you will be well guided by senior members of the forum.
My only piece of advice concerns providers of components required. My rebuild has become a protracted affair due to non supply by Kanters (despite my previous post re James from Kanter).

Probably contributed to my own woes but, in future, I would try to source from Merritts or alternative. Ordered deluxe rebuild kit for 120B back in July/August and am still awaiting oil pump kit. Timing chain and ancillaries arrived maybe two weeks ago! If you order anything try to get a commitment that they either have in stock or a firm ETA. Website and catalogue suggests everything available but given my experience, a lot more smoke than fire!

All the best
