So ordered some nice tungsten bits as the old grinder stone thingys are not designed for ally, and pretty dangerous by some accounts too, although they came in handy on the wrought iron(!) exhaust manifold. So thats gasket matched now, took a fair bit off. Also welded ina stud for the relocation manifold as its a pig to do on the car as a bolt.
Did some more cleaning and lapping too. No pics of all of it, had to rush round doing other things for weekend in Minehead.
But video is currently under editing.......
All thats left is replace the oil return hose, clean up the block, "adjust" the precup openings and do some porting when those lovely bits arrived Lick of VHT paint and pop it all back together.
Oh, found that my new driveshaft, inner cv joint gaiter clip has bust and spat cv grease everywhere Something else to clean up!
