Right where to start??? Heads off,inlet manifold off,sump,oil filter,timing chain,cam and then a good clean and de-coke. As the engine was a good runner i decided not to mess with the pistons or crank as there was no scoring in the bores(maybe do the bottom end at a later date)☺

Looks like it sticks out a fair bit, thinking you will be running with an upgraded rad, will it all fit?
Got upgraded ally rad with twin electric fans and will be running engine ice coolant to hopefully keep the temperature down 🤔

Some of us (OK, probably only me these days it seems!) spend months grovelling around doing jobs like the rear TA's and then along comes someone who does these jobs as though its as simple as changing the batteries in a torch! It makes you sick! 😊 😊 😊 😊 Seriously, looks great so far! But I may not read any more, its all too distressing!😊
