(last week)
went out to the garage last night a checked the bores to ensure they had been bored to the correct clearence, then gapped the rings correctly, should be able to go out again tonight and start to put the jigsaw puzzle together.
big thanks to al olsen here i was chatting to him about shimming the rear beam as mine is not straight and at the moment toes out so could explain some of my handling issues, but because the rear hub does not have square bolt fixings if you just shim the rear to increase toe in then it causes the wheel to ''twist'' and can remove camber when you add the toe in which is not ideal
so i measure the hole distances and sent them over to al who then worked out the exact amount i need to shim each bolt to keep the camber the same as it is and just adjust the caster
not only did he work out how much ill have to move in a theretical world he also worked out the effect that using a washer would have on the possition.
these settings should allow my beat to toe in on the drivers side by 10 seconds instead of toeing out by 30 !!
well thats the head off and boxed ready to send to steveboyslim ready for the new camshafts


had a look into the turbo tonight once i got it off and there is no wet oil anymore so im hoping the new oil drain has solved that problem.
had a few deliverys today aswell new set of R888's as mine are starting to look like they have seen better days

and because im changing the crank to an xer one i now need to use a late cambelt set-up so got a new set of verniers, i also bought some steel cambelt rollers as the standard plastic ones have been know to fail.
