Looking stunning Peter as always you have done a top job
Cracking job mate i just wish i was good at fettling.

Pete! looks great bud!.... why paint the oil filler cap?..or is that just a temporary one?.....You're tempting me to do a rebuild at some point...what did it cost you in the end?
Looks like a cracking job there, young man :)
Hey tc the filler cap is just a old one i have and just fitted it to keep the neck clean as for cost lol i honnestley havent added it up i bought quite alot of other things aswell
rough geuss
£900 in machine shop new pistons and all new shells
£400 rods
all gaskets seals liquid etc £200-£250
water pump £ forgot
For a full new engine if your doing the work your self you looking at 2k the ammount of time it take to post and polish a head is unreal god knows what some one would charge.
Then theres new acuator, quarfe lsd, fuel inectors, gauges, fuel pump and lots more ive forgot about lol
Nice job there pete, looks like there's been a bit of knife egdeing going on in the Jap manifold ?
Competition transmission services aka CTS aka www.gearboxman.co.uk blamed it on insufficient oil when drag racing. TBH in session I had no rebuttal, but subsequently thought of other reasons. I lost the case because I was not prepared to go further spending money chasing 1300 quid.
Super work Pete it must give you great satisfaction and pleasure when you see it all coming together. Wish i had a 5th of your talent and skills... Keep us updated!
