Thanks to Jim (SCS) and the heads up re-trigger wheel wrapping themselves round cranks past 8500 revs, something I have not seen before but now I know it can happen it gave me RS paranoia! Thanks Jim lol
I started looking at other engine I have in stock and looked at a couple of the mountune cranks I have and found a difference on their trigger wheels.
They have billet steel ones fitted.
So... stripped my bottom end down, knew there was a reason I didn't final torque my rods... and fitted the billet steel trigger wheel.
On the standard you can bend teeth by hand, billet one you have no chance without a hammer lol
Also had a problem with adjustable cam sprockets as the bolts in a few had rounded off when I tried to reset them, Ian (Coley) drilled them out for me yesterday and I'll get new bolts asap.
Older pic's not working atm because photobucket want some money, I am not paying so they'll show up again soon.

Thanks Andy
He gave me para
Nutta, thanks though mate
Spent today at unit with bad head as had hangover lol
But finished off engine bay and fitted ARB, not easy with subframe bolted to car lol
Then I set about building engine and attaching to box, but snapped a clutch plate bolt in flywheel and nearly gave up for the day but me mate Shaun turned up and gave moral support lol used his Scooby to shoot off to other unit and get new bolts...
Then... engine in!
All wrapped up now, I've loads of bits to sort out now, peddle box next after timing sorted on engine as not done that yet due to the sprockets needing drilling out etc.
Modify manifold also as doesn't quite clear the sump, but needs chopping anyway for new system etc...
Feel like I can plod on again now without massive modifications needed although still need lots of money spending

Present arrived today from Andy @ ALDevelopments 50% throw quickshift.
He did also send me a few pic's of its construction to show me how indestructible he has attempted to make it as he knows how much abuse I have given his 25% ones in the past pmsl
He's welded this one together
Good timing as I can now bolt it on mext time I am the unit.

The white mk6 poverty spec shell I purchased a little while ago was for the wiring...
Today I started looking at it lol
Got to try and figure out what I need and don't need from this lot...
I managed to reduced it to this...
Still loads to remove yet but don't want to chop something out I later need lol
It's a learning curve again as I hate wiring.

Looks like you've already reduced your loom down nicely - that's half the battle.
My old Sierra one was so cut up & old I've had to start again!
I'm with you on hating the wiring - I've got two days on it this week. Normally I love having time set aside to work on the car but this week I'm not so sure..
Cheers
Iain

Cheers mate, I'll pop over whenever you're ready
Looks better in the 2nd pic that it actualy is Iain Still loads to do and figure out on it.
I don't want to remove somehting only to find I have messed it up and needed it lol going to try and plod on with it this week of an evening if I can keep my motivation up to do it.
I want to than get some nice wire covering to make all the loom look tidy in the car too, if you've got any recommendaitons?

Bit of a head ache lately sorting out all the JIC AN fitting sizes but I think I am on top of it now.
As with a few they weren't strait forward but after Coley measured for me it seems some are 5/8 BSP to -16, started ordering these up for the dry sump system.
Also had head ache with trying to mount my 52's onto my CNC DTH inlet, as you'll see in the pics, inlet machined with 8mm holes for mounting but I couldn't get the 8mm stud or cap head to work on tb's because injector housing is to low.
So thanks to Mick following my design request he made me some 8mm to 6mm thread / stud reducers, they worked well.
Some pics -
The start of JIC fitting killing wallet exercise
The reducers -
the reason 8mm wouldn't work -
The bodies built up now with underslung cable mech as above doesn't fit because of angle and DTYH manifold -
More when I start fitting bulk head up for dry sump, fuel lines and also PAS lines from electric PAS pump.
