Default Quick update - 17-12-2007

Quick update.

right'o - small update, the day started off so well.............

started to build the engine up today at the mechanics place. I had already painted the block and mounted the ARP head bolts so the morning was spent putting the head back together (cams, turbo, inlet & exhaust) mounted the head with the new Grp A head gasket and put the new cam belt on with tensioner....all was going well until i came to take the old spark plugs out...............so dumb twat must have done them up with a torque wrench!, 3 plugs have snapped off and are no stuck in th head!

i tell ya! - some spanner were thrown today

rest of the afternoon was spent removing the head, removing the cams, turbo etc and inlet - the head is HOPEFULLY going for machining tomorrow

does bad luck only ever happen to me?

on the brightside, i've put the prop in, and exhaust is now in place, also removed the old discs and clean up the calipers

tomorrow should prove interesting

i'll get some pics updated soon
