Still waiting to pick up the gear from bill Richards then I can fit the transfer case then fit the engine

[minilee94]

Picked up the gear and have done the end float on the primary gear and is reading 8 thou so is a tad to much

Mr calver says on a fast road max end float is 6 thou

But I will need to wait till after as once I have got my tool tax rebate through then I can buy my st3 med ultralight flywheel kit and ap racing clutch plate

Ordered a few bits from dsn classic a brake servo plate , oil pressure relief bolt , and a stub take off for the head got alot more to buy yet :)

That's about it till after Xmas really have a good one don't eat and drink to much :)

I've noticed the price of ARP rod bolts rocketing recently.

Just received mine from a company on eBay for £73.

[minilee94]

Genuine push rods are more expensive than the performance ones

Also I'm not guna get arp head studs I'm going for mini spares own designed head stud kit basically same as arp

And yeah rod bolts are dear I was lucky I got my brand new , x drilled nitrided crank with arp rod bolts off my mate for £350

And I don't fancey budgeting on the pushrods either really they do non genuine ones but it says do not use on performance engines

I am sure someone on here will have some spare you can have.

I run std crank, and push rods on my eng and they have been fine.

[minilee94]

Nar I ain't using 2nd hand ones no way everything is new so I ain't guna skimp on pushrods

I only got the crank as it was a good deal

[benjy_18]

As long as they are straight, 2nd Hand pushrods are fine! Use your old ones if you still have them
