Some good progress on the engine today, with a nice visit from Draper to help me strip the head! :)

Haynes told me to put these in oil so they don't drain?

Got bored of the engine so decided to try the Corsa double joint on the Nova column, as I'm tempted to not bother with the power steering now. Much longer so should fit easily:
