Right then, update time! its in it runs a treat doesnt smoke (WOOP!!) and its now with the mot tester (eek!)
Spun it up this morning, achieved a healthy oil pressure, then she sprung into life first throw of the key on choke. Had a little hoon round the village just to check all is ok, only issue was a loose boost hose. So fingers crossed, might even have time to run it in this week and pay another visit to the rollers before Avon.
Im chuffed to bits!
Shane

Well done, what pistons did you use in the end?

GREAT news shane and well done
now have fun! and keep the engine out of detonation

Tom i think shane used OMEGAS cast

Correct, +20 casts. Im supprised to be honest, the last few days have gone well, well apart from failing the mot this afternoon, only petty things, like the mot tester couldnt find the fog light swich, be tested first thing in the morning tho.
Would like to thank firstly T3 tone for letting me drive his car at brunters, it gave me back enthusiasm I had totally lost.
Secondly and more importantly a big thanks to Benross, the poor chap has had me on the phone more times than I dare to count asking stupid question. Thanks Steve, I really appreciate it.
Cheers
Shane
