    Not a problem if you do, I have another couple in store .

    Just pay me three times what I paid you and we're sorted

    Ohh wiki helped me lol!

    Way i see it is if i do the head build, put it back together and it has big end knock then it was a waste of time.

    Not 100% sure what i will be doing with it yet. Either keep hold of it or sell it on once it's all tidy and running healthily.

    Its what it bods call it when a little thing you set out to do you end up turning into a massive job.

    Like going out for a pint and turning up 3 months later in an opium den in Hanoi.

    Don't. Just don't. You'll put off more buyers than you'll,attract. Also, get the badge fixed. It lowers the tone

    I think its a special part. The is a spike on the back that fixes to a false nut. Don't know how else to describe it. Its a kind of nut but has no proper thread inside.

    Removed all of the auto gearbox wiring this eve and had a bit of a tidy up in the bay.

    Front x-member has some surface rust so will clean that up and give the bay a good wash before the engine goes back in.

    Pics to follow.
