Well done mate!
If you want a job done proper do it yourself!
It took me 10 months to rebuild my old Saab after it melted a piston, very satisfying once it all back together and working though

Thanks I took less time to fix it than a guy that was "supposed" to know what he was doing 5 months to do a re-build then it blew up that quickly [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] I didn't even get out second last night though because it was going so well!

very nice motor and I imagine that doing the work yourself must be very satisfying.
