Look forward to meeting you Mark

Spent Friday driving down to Hebden Bridge in Yorkshire. I went down to collect some Bling from Pennine. Chy and Phil have been working hard on this, and it shows Most of the internals are from Lateral Performance.



They even pollished the Oil separator cover



Spent tonight bolting some of the bits to it with a view to getting Andy to make it go Vroom Vroom soon

Windage tray in



Pickup pipe on



Gucci Lateral Baffled Sump

Engine's looking lovely John.

See you got rather trigger happy with the RTV gun when fitting the oil pan. I hope there isnt that much overspill inside the crankcase for fear of it coming away and entering the oil pickup pipe?

Not an issue, whatever it touches it will stick to, it was all clinically clean, that prob arises when you slap it on and it doesn't stick due to it not being clean.

Another long day in the garage today, thanks again to KennyS and Arch

Kenny finneshed off the brakes with the exception of shimming the AP calipers.

Most of the fuel lines are now done.

More importantly the engine is now in



A few wee modifications around for the keen eye, though Colin has probably already done them :P



Carl's excellent Alternator bracket and Phase 1 - 2 Manifold adaptors

I could not tell if you'd just cleaned the throat out or done any work further than about 2cm down the tract.

Just interested as I have a spare of VVT heads and kent cams wheels

Good luck to John and the lads, they are currently on route to Oulton park
Been a frantic couple of weeks for all concerned but it will be worth it.
