No but seriously, if i had of known that they were "bedroom selling" i would have just gone direct. But still i think it was a bit cheaper than going direct....
I genuinly do appreciate marks help though, dont get me wrong on that!

its a good product, we have a great relationship with chris, why make somethings thats already available for good money.
id hardly call it bedroom selling would you?
when i sell piper valve springs, and have them send direct is that bedroom selling because i didn't make them here?

Yep, thats totally fine the way you do it.
Like i said i work in mail order, 90% is in stock, the other is ordered in, checked, and re-sent out.
Its just the blame for delays is always put on the middle man.

Heres what i was left with this evening, i can saftely say i could put it all back together if i needed to... which i wont  !
Removed quite alot, all air-con system, rads, manifold and exhaust system, collant system & header tank, washer bottle etc and other bits and pieces.
Gonna leave it now, for when dan comes over and gets the rest and engine out. Should be straight forward for cheif engine fucker uper to remove now.

Its gonna be here a good while still yet. I only just have one cam turning free. Needs a little bit more taking out of each and cleaning up so its smoother, and that will be done. Then ive gotta do the other cam.
Then ive gotta clean the head out and stuff.
Then i gotta pull the pistons out to clean out a bit of swarf that go in there, shouldnt take toooo long.
Its just getting time atm dan. With the dog and house to sort 24/7 its a struggle. but over the next few weeks ill try at least get it ready to go back together again.
