Haha yeah,

Its up to Dan really, when he gets time. Will know when the parts arrive he can arrange time.

Gotta get the cage welded in too at some point, probably all at once with the engine.

Again, all depends on Dan

A hot tub is the way to go. Im felling a 7m x 3m bit of decking with a hot tub in the corner.

May just be a dream at the min, but once the cash is flowing again, i think it may have to become reality

Everything has been ordered to fit the engine now. Still waiting on delivery dates for the stuff....

Dan has just informed me that the cam lobes catch on the head so i am NOT a happy bunny it just means more hassle.....

I have faith that robin or mark will sort it asap for me though!

Pics coming soon when the stuff arrives. New wheels should be here today too.

they do, because of the lift onthe cams the head isn't designed to run the high lift, so you need to remove material to all clearance.

it is important when building engines to carry out dummy builds.

Do you have that lying about still? Could you do me a favour and take some pics of the pressure plate/cover? Assuming its for a flat fly?

I have a couple of xe clutches, which i dont know what fly they are to

You do not need to dummy build an engine. So long as you throughly check each componenet as you fit it, there wont be a problem. Hence how i noticed this. I could have quite easily left it alone and not notice if i wasnt taking care.
