Well, after almost three years off the road I can finally see an end to the sadness!

My Good friend and I have taken the engine out and will be starting the re-build nice and slowly/cautiously over the coming weeks.

Any hints/tips regarding the removal of the Heads and re-timing with be gratefuly recieved smile.

I'm sure I'll be asking lots of questions over the next couple of months!

Hi Ridds,

Good price for how the spec and did the job easily smile.

Chinese Waring (not a typo!) aside I think it's a good bit of kit.
