I now have my rebuilt block
Spanking new top hat liners fitted along with cam bearings.
Decks nice and flat. Heads all refurbed and skimmed nice and flat.
Got me a nice set of cometic steel gaskets
And a large table full of all new rings, bearings, shells gaskets etc etc !!!
I'm quite frustrated at the mo because I now have all I need for a total rebuild of engine, gearbox, rear axle and rear suspension + twin wideband kits sitting in the garage. But I'm stuck working 7 days a week at the mo
I was hoping to be on the dyno at the end of Feb and at the Fast show for shakedowns. But at this rate I wont be on the dyno for another 4-5 weeks
Still!! No point in rushing eh? The longer it takes to get done the warmer and dryer it will be
My Son has worked every single evening and weekend through the last 5 weeks to get his V8 project underway. I used to be that keen. But I dont feel any great urge to be working outside in the snow and freezing cold at this stage in my life...
Up at 5am and not in until 6-8pm every day for the last 4 weeks is enough for me
Hopefully there will be some slack days coming up in 2 weeks. Then I'm gonna blitz the build
