Cheers for the positive comments folks, hopefully, the next few weeks up to christmas, should see the biggest updates. If all goes to plan, by mid jan the engine and suspension bits, should all be on and running. Was hoping for just before crimbo, but apparently my girlfriend would rather go to her aunties christmas day, than spend it in the garage with me. And by her, I mean us, and I have no say! But I am expecting a few conversion bits form her, so can't kick up too much of a fuss.
Rich, I didn't do the core plugs, just cleaned the block over, and put some paint on it. Non seemed to be weeping any oil, or obvious signs of failure.
Only bit i really had off the block, was the breather pod as the engine was suffering oil related problems, and i thought the breather may of been blocked. I ran a decent amount of petrol through it, and let it soak for a couple of nights and the petrol was filthy. SO i'm hoping if it was blocked, this will of cleaned it out.
Cheers folks
Rich
