Ordered new pistons last night, $240 for 1mm oversize pistons and rings, should hopefully take it to engine builders on Friday to have them bore/hone, lighten flywheel, skim block & head. Might order a MLS gasket from Aus too. Bit of a mock up, engine's going to sit lower on land rover mounts (probably) just need to mod sump slightly as it fouls steering rack. No other cutting even for dizzy/heater fan as bringing it lower makes everything clear. Just need to relocate drivers side heater hose as it comes out right behind the dizzy. Getting argon bottle next week and will start fiddling with exhaust manifold ;D

Can't actually remember how much now, roughly $350-400 I think Finished turbo manifold today, apparently my welder is a complete sack of nuts and I keep having problems with it so it's going to be sold.. So I had to mig the whole thing (with gasless even ) but it's turned out alright.. Just need to do downpipe and wastegate pipes. Pics this week ;D

Looks a bit yuck with gloss paint, but you get the idea. Will be heat wrapped anyway.

Bored out fuel rail to suit VR4 490cc injectors which have been cleaned and flow tested. I cleaned up the lower part of the manifold minus top gasket faces and painted both. Bought some shiny bits this week and heat wrapped my manifold too. ;D
