Pointless pic but what the hell.

Progress it continuing on the engine rebuild, bit slower than I would like though. Waiting for money to complete the last few bits.

Cleaned up the manifold, nice shiney FSE valve thanks to Nova X.

One of my mates is baffling the sump as we speak.


Comming along, slowly but surely.

FSE was second hand from Nova X. Ill let you know if they are worth it when the engine is built. :wink:

FSE looks great Dude :wink: what did you spray the inlet manifold with? Baffleing the sump sounds a good idea, could you send me a picture of it when it's done? I think when my engine project gets underway I'll have that done as well.

Made by the same people that make the Vauxhall filters these days mate. Just without the dealer mark up.
