2011-11-26130959.jpg


cut lagging to shape
2011-11-26131452.jpg

with all the white, if you have any issues with oil leaks, they'll be easy to track down :lol:

Everything looks super nice in that white, cant wait to see the engine bay when your done 8)

Did you work out what caused your thrust bearing failure? And did the new radiator solve ur over heating? How did u stop the head lifting?

Click to expand...


no we never found out whay it failed but we think that the place that built the engine the first time for me might of put the bearing in the wrong way round :( as it will fit both ways but then the oil way is the wrong way. it does help lots as you have a lot more water in so help keep cooler and with a 56mm rad its much bigger and better cooling:)

manifold is now fitted to the head:)
hear you can see the plate I had to make so that I can use the idle up valve and for there to be a back plate for the air bypass
