Are your ordering your stuff from overseas?

Could you let us know where you recommend?

Cheers Rob

Everything on that list besides the camshaft is just from ebay and who ever the seller is using! But with the larger stuff i have had from the uk i get sent to my mums then she waits till theres a few bits there and uses.

We found they are yhe cheapest! But with the camshaft thats from The US an sent with USPS and was only $60!
Ive had higer shipping quotes from the east coast to Perth than some from England!

Just a quick update if anyone cares! Sump got dropped today ready for new piston rings and big end shells!
Valves and springs hopefully coming out this weekend so i can polish inside the head. going to get exhaust reducer pipe on the weekend so hopefully be able to knock a rough mount up for that!

Spent the day cleaning parts and fitting new wheel spacers (forgot to take b4 photos) pics aint great as there off an ipod touch after my amzing son decided to chuck it on the tiles!!!






Valves and pistons getting cleaned this Sunday!

[EwenHayton]

re-seated and cleaned valves today! was planning on putting back together but the BBQ and beer took up to much time!

b4 and after the head was re seated


Not the best pic as im still waiting on new iphone glass to fix my old one! but this is how dirty the valves were


and this how clean i got them again **** pic but you get the idea


Hopefully once full head gasket kit is fitted, head skimmed, rebuilt head, piston rings changes, con rod shells replaced,ports polished and pistons cleaned the old girl will be running perfect.

Just gotta buy a 4-2-1 manifold now! then a 2.5' system to my DTM all in good time!
