now thats the kiwi spirit good too see the kiwi lads helping where they can wont be long and it will be boosting again at this rate. just got the box out ready to bolt the new one too the engine and drop in at the same time as the block .may just slap the heads on with the old headgaskets yet they look ok really and it will be ok too have a weak link anyway theyn are in one peice still should seal fine.transplant some rods and pistons reuse the old bigend bearings she will be alive again hopefully by morning.hope to have it running by morning anyway even if we dont have it moving. if we dont run into any issues plane flys out early so may be an allnighter ide say quick shower in the morning and off to the plane :thumbsup:

It's fun watching this thread, I like the get on with it attitude lol.

You may want to check the heads for a good seal before you bolt em back on. One or two of the valves may have got something under the seat briefly when it let go. Should cost all of a few bucks to have a reco joint check em out

Great news, but i guess it doesnt leave u any time to finish the tuning off.
Just remember not to go bumping the boost up to much untill u get a chance to finish the tune. Its hard, but try.
