Might be getting hold of another complete 16xe block too (already fitted with Arps, .5mm rebore etc), which would save me a lot of money and time. Would just need wip the pistons out and get them pocketed.

Thanks :D That does sit well. I want to go out and take some photos with you next time I see you. :thumb:

Front needs to be lower now :p . Will those cams go straight in? Thought you would need pocketed pistons to run a high lift?

Look at the bottom of his post, he's planning pocketed pistons.

Lol, fronts staying as it is ;)

Aye, the cams wont go in with std pistons and they wont even run with standard management lol

So i need 2mm pockets putting into them, but i really need another bottom end to play about with as i need a car everyday so cant have my current engine in bits :(

Oh, also bought this. A DIY build Wideband lambda controller and display, from the US :)
