[denzilbmw]

change of colour prefered black , red looked a bit out of place , pistons finally done , ended up taking them elswhere and had them back in 48hrs , needless to say the engine bloke wont be having any work from me again ..

dry build done today to check valve clearence , all good so onto final build , progress at last.

Dai "Stalker" has an engine lift sure he`ll let you borrow it.

Its getting close now!

yes so close now . would have been driving this weekend but the basemap arrived much later in the week than hoped , coupled with me being like a tool trying to use a computer , then fri after the service manager spending a while on it we found it needed to be powered to load it, so it was too late in the day then , but will sort it in the week and lookout next weekend ..

all done now just waiting for the ecu to plug in and shes away . ooh and plug the coils in ....
