Today saw a little more progress.
I inspected the block and measured the bores on 8 points on each bore, i also measured the main bearing liners in situe so i could calculate the crankshaft running clearances.
Once all that was sorted i washed the block in the hotwash, oiled the bores and bagged it ready for assembly.
Another note, i colected my clutch today from Mocom.
Its a new Exedy Hyper twin plate. It comes with 2x 6 puck cerametalic driveplates, flywheel bolts, a lightened billet flywheel and the prettiest pressure plate available lol.
Im taking the time to show you guys now as it wont ever bee seen lol
I put it on the scales just for fun, the complete assembley comes in a a featherweight 10.2kg

Mr postman was a hppy chappy today as not only did he have my wrinkle red paint, but also my new RAYS extended wheelnuts.
Cant begin to tell you how light these are, im really impressed with their quality.
But the bit you all want to see is the manifold. Well here it is having just been de-masked. There are one or 2 bits that i will have to clean where the paint bled a little on some edges but on the whole im quite pleased.
Looks almost new and theres no telling where the casting lines or original bosses were that i ground off were.
Enjoy

As you know Frayz, i have some of these extended Rays nuts on my scoob. I'm pissed off to report that a couple of them have discoloured which is crap for a set of nuts that cost around £100, so just be warned if yours decide to do the same.
All the best

Everything looks great frayz, I can't wait to see what kind of power you'll be putting down to the wheels. Those pics on the clutch and flywheel look good and frayz it will never end. I'snt it amazing how you fall in love with your car again after you do something to it. Best of luck to you completeing your project it is going to be awesome.
