The Pistons have arrived. Mark has not checked them yet .
The Valve Springs have also been decided on so all bits have now arrived .
Will take the Pistons & cams to be balanced towards the end of next week & try to get them done as soon as possible.
I want to start on a bit of under bonnet tidying up & a few parts will be resprayed that could start next week. Also need to trial fit the modded dry sump pan on the Block (in the car) dont want any shocks further down the line.

Usually new development is done on my engine but Mark has built an EVO to a similar Spec using 9180, Jenvey & Dry-sump system & a problem has reared its ugly head the Jenvey distribution system melts & leaks when protected it still will not seal under extreme conditions. The solution on the EVO was to use a 2nd injector rail as the block. Mark wants to use 8 staged injectors on mine so another solution will be required.
Still holding off on the DBW it looks likely the Jenvey motor wont fit with the Dry-sump in place. This will be looked into after the Dyno session.
Its probably 50/50 that we will use DBW.
