f**k sake Dan you've had some s**t luck. Fair play to the other Dan for the offer and being a true friend there. Hope you manage to get this all sorted and together for Bedford as I want a run out in it.

I know fair play to him although he did sell me a shedhaha joking I love the car it is great..
Tell me about luck starting to think I should change my hobby lol
My run of success with cars has never been great. But as 'they' say sometime your luck has to change.

Just got off the phone to scoff slightly happier tbh.
He gave me 2 options either send him another head and he can just fit it straight on or he can take my head to a local engine company he uses to have mine fully cleaned out have something done to the valves cant remember lol and get that plug thread helicoiled so it threads in perfect.
Ive decided to have the work done on my head no idea why just feel happier doing that than having one of an engine i know nothing about when i know the complete history on this one ect it may have cost abit more but ill have piece of mind. Its going to the engine shop tommorow and scoffs going to have the engine built back up as soon as he gets it back. Then finish off the loom 50% done and onto some mapping so were aiming at the start of next week aslong as NO more problems. Please lol

To get the pulleys off you are best to lock them using the locking tools and then use a buzz gun. I was going to say I could send them down but you but sounds like scoff is sorting you out so you are in safe hands. No worries about the head too, its there if you need it for some reason later.
Hope all goes well tomorrow and you re back on track.
Awesome! getting close to the finish Dan

About fourty mins mate

The mapping and loom was £600
obviously my head went bang the other day so its cost quite a chunk for that with scoffs time ect taking old one off fiting bits and putting all back together also the price for the engine build company working on it. allthough i can put my money on him being cheaper than alot of people out there!

Where have you been? :sleepy:
Sounds like you're getting somewhere now. Glad you're back on track.
Scoff has just let me know that the engine is back together and IS running like a dream
I knew Scoff would do you proud when I sent you his way mate, glad its all worked out so quickly in the end
You going to be at bedford in it in 2 weeks so that we can have a bit of a turbo tear up?

Its been sold out for a while now so if you havent already booked you deffo wont be on track.
Should be able to take you for a passenger ride I would think, as all being well with the car I intend to use it a fair bit during the day.
I'll be going out for lots of small doses I think, so do two or three laps and then back in, as I want to keep an eye on temps and see if there are any fluid leaks etc after doing so much work to it, so there should be quite a few times I can take someone out.
