ill count my lucky stars with that then mate.
went to the machine shop yesterday to speak to the guy about my head etc. he said if this is my hobby then i should fix the car then sell it, said that underneath the journals was scoring looked like it had been ran low on oil at some point, then i read uop that this is quite normal on these cars.
he didnt fill me full of confidence the cheeky bugger.
im really enjoying everything im doing on this car and though people tell me ive picked a hard car to start on for my first project i have nothing to compare it too so wouldnt know.
i think the hardest part so far was removing the turbo oil pipe, had to get to it from the top.
so far so good ill keep posting until i finish. hopefully this will help beginners too.
