UPDATE..... the motor is out. we started on friday arvo just changing the inlet manifold, then we looked at the head and how dirty it was and thought well since the turbo was going to be changed for a bigger one in the coming weeks i might as well pull the head offand give it a cleanup.( the decision was made after a few drinks ofcourse).so off she came head turbo entire top end.. then the weekend went by and more disscusion and as it always happens since were already this far we might aswell do the rest of it. do it once do it right.. so sunday nite out she came.. now the block is at the machine shop get a lil massaging done.. before it comes home so that it can be fittted with ross forgies and acl race bearings. no rods.. the is only getting a lil massage and clean.. stage 1 cam, double valve springs. also new ex manifold turbo external gate electric boost controller full exhaust adjsutable cam gear xf t/b fuel reg and heaps of other lil bits and pieces. so i'll have to get it up and running soon as i had to buy a moped while its off the road.. it is so slow should have brought a bike.. but its cheap on gas.

Not a big fan of the blue pulleys. Go the old black
