Thanks guys, appreciate your kind words. 8)

Andy, the car has been on the road, but now off with cylinder heads off... but not for long. Had some gasket issues at the rolling road day tail end of last year, pulled the heads, found the weakness and now finishing off a second set of heads with corrections. It's a 2.5ltr bottom end with the later 3ltr heads with mods...

My pleasure matey, the real satisfaction comes from seeing the results going into something, and really being used, and I know in my bones this is going to be a great year!

So finally for this week folks... work in progress, 2nd set of heads for quick rebuild. Plan is to finish them off next weekend and start rebuild of the motor... although the inlet valves may possibly get hijacked for a much more powerful motor in conjuction with :twisted: , took ages reprofiling and repeat testing first time round, and don't fancy doing it again... so may be this motor will have to accept some OE valves.. :wink:
