Right little bit of an update.

This is where we are at the minute:





I Just need to see if Ahmed can do me 7.2-1 pistons and GGR no longer do them. If not i will just have to get the 7.5-1 and have them machined.

I have a new block sorted that i will have the machine work done, when i get my pistons and i can give them to the machinest so he can do match the bores to them.

Once i have all the bits i will get the block cleaned out to remove all the swarf, then Stu[The original] has offered to build the engine up for me aslong as i help him so i can do my own next time. Massive thanks to Stu cheers mate, it will have a 'Built by Scrote Motorsport' sticker to prove it

A few of the parts i have:





Mike [R&BMotorsport] is sorting my Big wing sump for me, It also having an oil return for my breather welded in and a temp sensor boss.

I painted a few bits today like the water pump housing, Engine mounts and a few other bits. I know what some are thinking, they will look shit but i am pleased with them just look like brand new items. Will get pics up later in the week if i have time.

I want to get then engine bay cleaned up and new Clutch cable fitted before i put the engine back in. Need to make a shield to go around the Alternator wiring as you can see where its been getting hot. My own stupid fault for not having a drop bracket with a T4, i have ordered one so should be better now.

I am down to be on the PF stand at Coombe so the engine needs to be in for then, might be a bit of a rush but i will do my best to get it sorted.
