Some Kelvin engine pictures, #1

I thought it would be helpful to post some pictures of some of the Kelvin re-build which took place, as it's always useful to have access to images of various engine parts:

In its original form, upon arrival at home

Upper parts of the top-end now removed, making heads accessible

Cylinder head platform

Magneto and starter motor all removed

Petrol starting chamber, with lift valve

again, petrol starting chamber with valve
