Had a few ####s occur.

2 stripped threads in the block for the heads (tools and stuff to fix it is on its way) and a free spinning bolt which held the oil pick up to the oil pump.

Got the bolt out, done the timing chain, cam and lifters and just need to put the new bolt back in the oil pickup tonight and can whack the timing cover back on.

Picked up some ARP head studs to avoid this occuring again.

well since half the people have seen or know about the manifold here it is.

Ari was right, the dull alloy fuel rails came up nice with a bit of metal polish and time to clean the **** off em.

Manifold and fuel rails

btw before someone wingers about the fuel hose, i will replace it with something prettier once i've actually got some cash again.

Its gates barbed fuel hose so it aint going anywhere without me cutting it off.
