Still getting on with the current distraction - mgzr 160 engine rebuild. Managed to get the liner heights to around 4 though in all planes with some imaginative shimming of the block while machining the face. A little lapping in should get them all spot on.

I thought I would update a little. I have now I believe obtained a full aircon setup so when that arrives I can charge on with the 2nd turbo downpipe and wastegate exhaust. Still not sorted the lower rear mount yet as not had a good look yet.

Well been playing today and managed to run the engine . But with no rad or intercooler it was just a see if it can start, especially as the engine has not been run since it was built 2 years ago. Didn't sound to bad and both turbo's span ok very please at that as the exhaust diverted valve was not fitted and there was enough stray gas to spool up the small turbo to a fair pace so God knows how it will be when all the gas is diverted in to it. Going to loosely connect the fuel tank up to run from that tomorrow. Will have to remove the fuel cooler first as I don't think cooled petrol is needed.
I have a 044 pump to fit in line when I start running high boost.
