Pack 2 - Stage 8. Preparing the oil and water pump and assembling the cylinders.

[Mark, The Master Modeller]

Stage 8 gives us a pile of cylinders and some pumps

The first task is to assemble the cylinders.  These can be pushed or glued together.  I chose to glue mine with superglue.

Push the two parts of the oil filter together.

Push the two parts of the water pump together and fit the hoses.  I dipped a hose in boiling water (watch those fingers!) to remove the kink where is was bent in the plastic bag.  The hoses can be superglued in place, but I prefer to leave that until you can glue both ends as the hoses might need trimming to fit.

Screw the water pump to the end of the engine block.

Then screw the engine block to the gearbox.

This completes stage 8.
