Little update...

Had the rocker cover painted satin black at work. Thought I might aswell as the painter was painting a few other bits for work lol...

Engine is stripped down, block has had three holes drilled and tapped for the oil return and two breathers. Need to make the three pipes to suit them next week.

Pistons.... I haven't got the money to go forged low-comp pistons so im left with either fitting a de-comp plate or machining the pistons. Im led to believe that the 1.8 pistons can have the crown machined by a couple of mm to achive the correct c/r. Any info on this would be apreciated...

I'll get a couple of photos either today or tomorrow...

Thanks

Shaun
