Default Welcome to cossie ownership Arghhhhh !

Well I knew the car needed work as it was noisey top end but never thought it would need this much.
Since buying the car I've found a brass restrictor hose cliped in the pipe (not screwed in the amal valve) from the amal valve too the turbo which had turned round as it was so thin and blocked the pipe nice
Then I find nylocks on the new turbo that had been fitted.
Changed all the followers oil change etc still a top end noise so I bite the bullet and remove the supposedly staged head.
Ah I see no staged head ( at least it had the Group N gasket I guess)
Pistons are moving about side to side like nobodies business so needs a bore and new oversized pistons.
Oh and the head well that needs all new guides as the valves are movin about too.
Can't wait to see what the cranks like
Hows your day been
