A Street Sleeper is reborn! THE END

[procta]

For the past few days the weather has been shite, So things have came to a bit of a stand still sadly.
Been buying the odd few things, mainly replacement bolts. The timing belt tensioner bolt looks like its bit suspect of chewing up so another one was bought. I have ordered off extra fancy bolts like I did for the rocker cover, as some are missing off the bottom and rear belt cover. So be nice to replace those while we are at it. Also bought a set of spare bolts too, for the car in case some look a bit odd. Or missing.
Also today I got a call back from the engine specialist who is doing the head, Good news on it, its not as bad as I thought it was, Oil stem seals are not bad at all, and the head its self is in good condition, It has warped a little bit but nothing major at all. Its been skimmed in the past too, but again nothing to drastic. At least it shows that I have jumped on it before things went really bad.
he is going to re tap one of my exhaust threads, one has totally been ripped out, not by me at all. Looks like who ever removed the manifold damaged the thread before I bought it. ( this engine did come out of a car that was been stripped and parts were sold on)
I have bought some new threads to go in when I nut the exhaust back on. saves the hassle of using a two nut jobbie in locking them in. all will be showing if all goes well.
Also the head has had a light polish too, and has been confirmed to be a 160 head, as I did think it was a 143, just been done up as a 160.
All I can do now is wait till the head comes back on Monday sometime, and go from there.
