Default Another update from NMS about my ZVH *paypal welcome PMSL*

THE HEAD CASING IS SCRAP NOW

This is due to it being overheated at some point, I know the previous owner had overheating issues. This has caused the casing to become soft.

APMSL

Everything else is intact inside the head, so everything will be swapped over to a new head, and Karl is going to port and polish it for me as well.

Roll on 2008

Wil, I asked Karl about that, and he said it would cost THOUSANDS to be done correctly, so a ported/polished cvh head is going on.

My Aria pistons should be there soon, but Karl breaks up for crimbo soon so work will be resumed after the new year.

Bit of a shame really as I break up for work for the year today, and my bday is Monday, would have kinda been nice to have the old girl back, its been a while now.

Tiff - Cheers mate

Wil - I'll give you a buzz mate, wouldnt mind another go in ur escort
