Hello again!! Good news. The block is back, WooHoo! But first here is a couple of pics of Haggis at Motormania this weekend. A great day out with lots of very nice cars to drool over. Also a great run home over the Dava Moore. Had a bit of a thrash with a lovely Mk 1 XR2. We couldnt keep up with the big stuff but a great run anyway. Only bad thing was some ignorant ******* let there dog pee on my wheels Note the wet mark in the picture. A puddle of pee in my deep dish alloy. Not Nice.  :thumbsup:

They also pressed in the new cam bearings and honed them to match the new camshaft.

The pistons were fitted to the conrods.
