Forgot to update this.
Crank is good, block is good and has been decked with the oil pump fitted, head as been mildly skimmed too, only negative was one of the oil squirters stripped its thread but that's now sorted too.
Bottom end should be back together soon.

He'll get it sorted asap. I just need to find the torque settings for my head studs as I've lost them

ARP 7/16th head studs are torqued to 65ft lb's when using the ARP lube.
the studs in the middle do sit higher than the rest.
Cheers mate, sure I remember them being more?

I hope you'll be making your car as clean as the engine - be a shame to put a really clean engine in a grubby engine bay
Indeed. Getting there now.

The bay will get a tidy up but not a complete strip down. I need a new steering rack and power steering lines really

Crying out for one of those gtx thingys braap braap
Oh for sure, a gtx30xx of some sort would be ideal but I'd need to get a new top mount manifold, turbo lines, downpipe, injectors, fuel rail, possibly fuel pump and ecu at least, I just don't have the cash for it all

Oh.... thought it was a bit more plug and play than that.
Unfortunately not
Hope you're well btw mate. Hopefully catch you at a event or something next year
