I will be taking the engine out next week out of the ute and then I will see how the rockers are out of the ba engine . hopefully the engine builder will come around tomorrow to have a look at the engine ,he will give me some idea of what I am up for as I got no idea if the engine needs a rebuild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanna see this saga getting somewhere for everyones sake. Seems like lots of input but lots of hurdles too. I just hope that this goes somewhere and we all get to see your pain end and a new love flourish from a tyre shredding romance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in no rush this time ,will not even go to powercruise this year . will take my time to get it how I want it . well the engine builder did not turn up again today ,so will give him another week and I will have to look elsewhere .
