Looking very clean and tidy - do you need the modine though if you're fitting an oil cooler

Also, while you're doing all this who's doing my bits

 

I don't do customer work on weekends Jon

I'm not fitting an oil cooler either bud.

 

I thought I'd seen an oil cooler in your stack of bits

 

That build looks lovely,superb picsSJ.

 

The colour of your shell is a great choice, Ryan.

 

+1 great colour Ry.

Nice work Ryan, can I have my engine back now?

 

Sure but you'll have to bless my palm with ££££'s before I'll hand it over

 

Woooooooooooooo! Shiney bits!!

 

Some very nice work there ry loving this thread

 

Seems I haven't had time to **** just lately but I have found a little time to put some more of the engine together

About 2 hours worth of work on it in 6 weeks !

 

I have to say Ryan that the manifold is fantastic.... I would like to think if and when I have an engine refresh I could archive something similar, I doubt it but I would like to think it

 

Looks like a cracking job Ryan, but 2-hours in 6-weeks seems about par for the course.

 

Welcome back Ry, looking forward to more updates. Thoroughly enjoy reading this one

Martin

 

Cheers Jon/mart
Your vent should land today mart, first classed it yesterday as the post office wasn't in action here Monday-Wednesday grrr.

 

Got the timing belt sorted and covers on to which I put the Turbo back on and the AVCS lines made up so if time allows I'll put the engine back in this weekend
