Well Ollie, it's got to be said you've done an amazing job, I'm glad the car went a caring home, I can't went to see her in all her Glory!!! Uncle Tone dropped the short block off last weekend, so I have spent the week bolting on the ancillaries and getting it ready for you. I've got to say it, Uncle Tony might swear a lot, but he has certainly excelled himself and putting your motor together!!! It's just a pity he smells funny!!! Heres a sneak preview:-

I think this will be officially the last engine we make, we have loads of internals if anybody needs any, cranks, con rods pistons, oil pumps, chains you name it, just no blocks, it's a shame really!!! It's not really, the engines are crap, to go with the car!!! All hail JZ the genuis. One day we'll organise ouija board Tech, I've got to tell him a few home truths!!!

I'm at work at the moment Gez, let me get back to you over the weekend to confirm, I believe I might have a spare set.

Well, no they weren't always shite - they have simply worn (probably as a result of the reprofiling) and as a result are no longer performing exactly as they should (although 160bhp on the dyno in current condition isn't too shabby). A lengthy tale for another thread!

Hope you all had a good christmas and new new years eve tonight!
I need to get the fuel injection system refurbished, I know J mentioned who I need to contact about this but could someone point me in the right direction again?
Any ideas on the turnaround time?

Cheers
