Yeah karl, took plenty of pics to show it had been rebuilt etc plus also for reference when building it back up
.
The leak was from the headgasket, looked like it was mostly coolant mixed with oil already on the block.
The bottom end is just standard rebuild with brand new +0.5 pistons, new little end bushes, arp bolts, skimmed flywheel, weight matched rods and got the whole lot balanced.
Head is all built up ready to go back on but been thinking about fitting the block before fitting the head. This is all when i eventually get the new shell underside stripped, cut out and weld in new metal where needed and have it painted of course. So be a few years at the rate im going lately
