That's a seriously close view, Dave. And a strong b&w, perfect for the subject.
I agree 100% with your comment re: Saturday mornings. I've never seen the engines of my last five or six cars, they've been hidden beneath gubbins I can't even identify.

I spent most of my working life around engines, my own and work, nothing like setting the tappetts correctly and hearing the engine purr.
The rest of the time was spent getting the grease and muck off my hands SmileSmileSmile
Helped my neighbour with his motor last week, 2 x 73 year olds up and down, couldn't move for 3 days after,
but it was fun at the time Smile

The lead is far better in concentrating on form and composition - of mundane things from the past...
Really great!
"The art of motorcycle maintenance" comes into my mind...
Congrats and cheers!

Takes me back to the days you could work on a car, and with your feeler gauge reset the tappets. Now you have a job finding the engine, never mind the tappet cover. Good memory stirrer with your image, and also well detailed in mono.

Ah, those wondrous days when only a basic toolkit was needed to maintina a car or motorbike. Now you need a degree in electronics!

Echoing others....yeah...cars used to be so simple to work on...of course, now we are moving to electric cars...so few moving parts (I have heard that a Tesla has only 17 moving parts)...Not so much romance of grease and engines there.

And...a beautiful mono Dave.

I once used to fiddle occasionally with car engines, A35, Mini and MG Midget, essentially the same engine, balancing twin carbs on the MG was not easy!
