Yeah mate the one from my spare engine is OK. I'll get the broken one turned down to cut a new thread at some point too. :thumbup:Quote:

Made some good progress today. Finished with the water jacket and fitted the new plugs.
Once I get the new gaskets and water pump I can seal it up again.
After that, the day was spent cleaning really.
Looking forward to getting all these parts so I can really get stuck in!
Looks great - well done.
Are you planning to paint the block or leave it as is?
Thanks mate.
Yeah I think I will, was planning to leave "as is" but there is a lot of bare metal.
Is the right color easy to get in a paint which is heat and fuel resistant?
It will all be OIL coloured soon enough :pQuote:

Haha... Yes very true. I'll add a BASE color then. ;)Quote:

Interesting!
I got my first box of goodies today.
Brake hoses, water pump, hub seals, swivel overhaul kit/railko conversion, engine mounts, oil filter, God knows what else. . I've forgotten.. :what:
Also waiting on parts from the series 1 shop, and prices from Dunsfold on a gigantic list I sent them..
Aside from that I've cleaned up the exhaust manifold, ready to go back on.
The old shocks are pretty cool, Monroe-Whiley.
They don't leak, can I call them good?
I started replacing ball joints today, while I wait for engine parts.
Hardly a big job, but an easy one and one less to do! :D
Definitely good to see new bits going on.
