Cheers dude, oil leaks stuck. Mine got to the point when it was getting out of hand and getting everyone so needed doing. The guys that did my Tv shoot weren't happy it dipped on the floor.. And it killed a set of Mintex m1144 pads too :(

Looks good Benn.

When you refit the oil pump use a genuine GM metal oil pump gasket.

off topic benn but read your feature today and ca loked awesome well done:thumb:
keep up the good work

Martin, I don't know. I got a few bills and stuff but it was all from the guy that owned it before the guy i got it from, Lee303s just been saying the same.

I cant feel anything on it no.

Rick, cheers dude. I have a new GM metal gasket here ready for the job.

Cheers David.

can you feel anything in this picture? as the marks look "deep" in terms on engines lol. it looks like there are small rust particles inside. the bores should all be sweet like my second pic lol
