R-R PIII - retrieving the block

Friday 13th!!  Back home at last despite the van having developed fuel pump problems.

The crankshaft is that from the original engine, S18K, that was found to have the #1 journal off-centre by 0.010".  Re-grinding would have removed the nitride case hardening and left us with the risky task of re-hardening part of the crankshaft.  Prudence (and also having a spare crankshaft) led to re-grind the other shaft.
