AMD87 - Thats interesting to know that bruce taxi's are in TimeAttack too 
Someone to drive down with!
Smoke - I've changed a few things on the breathers and added a well vented catch tank. It never smokes on the road (never really gets used though :/ ) so I'm leaning towards it just being oil surge/getting sucked up through the breathers or a positve pressure valve being faulty and venting oil from the head into the TB's.
Saving it.... pah. If it breaks it'll get fixed. Cant live life in fear
(fingers crossed :P ) We've still got a fair bit of engine work to do too.... and just bought some huge brakes for it to help with the likes of Snetterton.
Col - hope to see you there...
UPDATE:
1 more casualty... so 3 spaces open.

Who made it today then? The weather must have been interesting! Was looking forward to trying out my new camera gear but didnt fancy standing about in that all day.
Will be up on sunday though as it will be dry and sunny......i hope.

respect to the guys in the atoms! i think everyone went off at one point,went off in one of the taxi evo's 
brakes locked when braking for duffers when the M3 didnt lift off to let us past.tyre wall came up far too quickly at 115mph! lucky it didnt hit it.sorting through the videos now,hope it wasnt a serious problem with the skyline adam and fee? would be gutting if it was this close to the start of the TT.

Big thanks to Adam and Fee for organising this. Well organised, and mostly a very high standard of driving from those in attendance.
Despite the dreadful conditions, and a wholly inappropriate suspension set-up on my part, I really enjoyed the day, especially towards the end when there were *drier* bits, and the abject fear had subsided a bit.
