Finished work at 2 today, so spent a few hours before I go to JR to collect my new engine!
Bit more progress! Going to take complete engine out tomorrow. Then get the rack of and dissemble.
Random green rust gel applied! Worked well to get surface rust off!

A bit of primer... just to keep the car from rusting! Also removed some extra un-needed weight! lmao

Rumour had it that my head had been 'ported'. Now I looked into the ports, and the valve guides on the inlet have been ground away, the inlets are quite smooth. It's an early Coscast, with 13mm guides. Any gen!?

Now I need a generator that will power my Compressor, angle grinder and drill. Even better would be if it could do my MIG too! off to JR's more update soon!

Wasted valve seats in the head :thumb: same as mine.
