Things haven't gone to plan as usual hence the lack of updates. Certain problems have forced things to go on hold such as a broken hand whilst doing another engine swap :bang:.
The cam arrived when they said it would and it is still sitting in the bottom of my toolbox in work along with the cam cover.
The exhaust is hopefully going to be done this Wednesday, if I'm able to get my day off work.
Funds have had to be removed from the vernier pulley pot to pay for insurance, which isn't to bad, but still makes me regret changing the engine because it is 3 1/2 times what it would be standard.
Rolling road will occur when I am back in college in September ish time.
Still waiting for a gearbox mount but that's down to the idiot in work who orders parts who is either away with the fairies or out of his office.
Enough with the negatives, some positives,
The coolant leak seems to have mysteriously stopped leaking .
The oil leak isn't as profuse because as usual most of it was coming from a bad seal on the cam cover.
I have definitely been allowed the couple of days off at the end of next month to go to Stanford Hall , although I will be travelling up at stupid o'clock on the Sunday .
She is running really well, even though I have recently found out that the engine had done over 100k. I still have a slight hesitation under acceleration, not sure what it is hoping for a coil pack more than anything due to being cheap ones from ebay.
That's it for now hopefully another update before Stanford but can't guarantee it.
