The head gasket went!!!


It will be whatever power it ends up at!! My original plan was to get a bottom end built with upgradability in mind, so decided on a strong bottom end and ported head so basically I don't have to touch that again!!
Any changes I want to make now can purely be top end - i.e. turbo and injectors... I already have a 'nice' set of cams in though, so I doubt I'll need to swap them for a while!!

Primarily it's a road car, so in the end it's not going to be a monster straight away, but the option is there!!!

My proper turbo will be on the way in the near future, and after I get back from Iraq again this year I should have a bit of dosh to spend on the transmission!!!

Just looking forward to getting it back on the road!!

I must say a really BIG thanks to all the boys at the Zoo, especially Brom who is an absolute star!!!
