Looks like Davin has everything he needs to get this 1965 Austin Mini Cooper S 1275cc engine back together... or so he thinks! Assembly begins with camshaft bearings and the camshaft. Then it's onto checking the main bearings and rod bearings for oil clearance, which is when Davin realizes we have the wrong rod bearings. Oops! That doesn't stop him from getting the crankshaft installed as well as assembling the valves and springs into the cylinder head.
