Right thought it was about time i did a little update seeing as i now have all of my bits.
Picked my block up today and gave it a good clean in the parts washer at work:
Sump i collected of Mike R [R&B Motorsport] last night:
Also Christian [APT] Dropped off my Harness's. 1xPro for me and 1xClubman for passenger seat:
I thought that while the engine was out it would be rude not to give it a bit of a tidy up. I rubbed some bits down and sprayed them in Aluminium VHT paint, i am really please with how they have turned out:
I also decided to upgrade my breather while i was at it. Got it off Pete from Rs Specialists, came with braided hose's with a proper return to the sump:
My Wossner pistons finally turned up at home after UPS lost them. Ordered a new Bottom header tank hose from roose. A new throttle bracket and a few other bits and bobs.
My old man offered to lap my new valve in and while he was at it he took all the others out and checked them and re lapped them all in. Fitted new Stem seals and checked the guides. Also cleaned up any of the tappets that needed it.
Dont have any pictures of the above as they are at home. I will pick them up on friday and then go up to my mate Neils. We are planning on building the engine over a curry and a few beers, then fitting it on the Saturday if nothing goes tits up. Nothing ever goes right when it comes to my car so something will probably piss on our chips.
