Right well i really need to start getting on with this. Block is in getting machined to take the .5 oversize pistons.

Crank is also being balanced and cleaned as oil ways are full of orange shit that some idiot had put the rocker cover on with.

Spec is going to be very light mods as i just want a safe and reliable stage3 +

So

0.5 oversize genuine mahle pistons.
.5 Bottom end rebore
T34 Turbo
Standard Balanced Crank (no need to regrind)
ACL race Bearings
Standard Genuine Ford Head Bolts
WRC Multi layer headgasket
Arp Rod Bolts
Gp A timing Belt.
Head stripped and valve stem seals changed with valve guides checked and replaced as neccesary.

Me and a friend are doing this (im being brave) or tight one or the other, so wish me luck.

Have got all new gaskets and i am going to try and clean and paint all items before going back into car.

I expect it to be all done within a month.

I just hope i dont live to regret this. Curently the car owes me less than what it would sell for so its all good.

Still need to make the decision on keeping when its all done, I am looking forward to driving the first engine ive helped build....

At least i know when ive done it myself i atleast wont fill the sump up with half a rubber glove and orange mastic.
