Iv binned the idea of the center console I made don't fit as good as wanted so bought my mate custom console one off him bran new £60 so couldn't moan at that just waiting for rubber gearstick gaitor then I can fit carpet back in and center console

Engine wise I'm waiting to buy my med itch set up Monday heavy duty pressure plate and bonded and riveted ap clutch disc
Then I can send that to machine shop with flywheel to e lightened an balanced. Other than that all my engine is done ready to bolt up

But next payday next month I can order up my sccr clubman gears from Minispares along with gearbox recon kit and x pin diff .my mate is guna do my box for me for a drink so that's sweet as then I can order my cam kit xt profile from med will come with oil pump,valve springs,cam , vernier pulleys, followers, so at least I can put my engine together and put it in the car

Done ring gaps all at 12 thou top middle and bottom
All oil and water galleries cleaned out in block and water ways cleaned out in head

All ready for buying my cam and doing cam timing and crank end float

Also as seen cleaned all the block but its like its rusty I don't know why and I think it needs re honing as there is a bit of surface rust some how in the top of the bore
