Got a bit more done today...
Prep'd and primed engine bay
Some arden blue 
Stripped the engine down a bit more,had a look through the exhaust port things and saw a leaky stem seal so just ordered full head set and bolts so this will be getting done asap,the joys! 
Also just ordered a twag conversion loom as heard good things about them and saves any loom chopping
Big thanks to the apprentice (sean8v) top lad...even when i nearly dropped a c20xe on him!
How we left it today
