Now we're moving!

All the bottom end and head parts are now sorted

Taking bottom end and head to a place called Cylinder Rebores on Friday where theyre going to fit my bottom end parts:

big end bearings
thrust bearings
whatever the crank bearings are called
new piston rings and have the bores reglazed
bottom end oil seals fitted.

The timing is then going to be done so new head gasket put in place
vernier pulleys fitted
cambelt kit
water pump swapped over
Got new bolts and fixings for most of them too

And the sump resealed.

So basically when thats done ive already got the other parts sorted and ready to put back onto the engine which will take me about a week/2 weeks tops.

Carbon coil pack cover has arrived this morning, coil pack was new before so fitting new spark plugs.
Lee is going to polish my rocker covers for me.

Ive got the P&P throttle body to attach back to the air intake housing and of course the Procomp is here for when it goes into the car.

My next plan is to check ive got all the coolant hoses etc and makr sure ive got a full circuit for the new radiator.

The loom still needs cleaning and sorting out but i dont need to do that yet.

Ordered some engine mount parts, new bushes etc here and there.

Clocks are apart, some yellow dials on my christmas list

Gearbox im waiting on a phonecall for a recon one rather than a normal 2nd hand one.

Then i just need an ECU with a catcam 708 base map for the VTS.

Woops bring on the hard work now
