Wow, Chris! That is looking fantastic! All those little details add up to making a really stunning engine!Kim
The original engine means so much to me, so many memories, that I can't help but try and get as much of the little things in as I can.
Your valve rod experience sounds like what happens in my shop once in a while. "Jeez I cut that ^**(^^ (*& thing three times - and it's STILL too short!" Just kidding, glad to hear you sorted it out quickly. If anyone comments on the re-do, you can always say "we took the mass reduction program a wee bit too far on those parts!"
The finials look great! Hopefully they will not allow a comfortable carnival ride for shop elves now! (that's probably why no one ever fitted tail rods with miniature horses....)
