Looking good mate.

The scraping will almost certainly be the dust cover behind the disc.

Just a little update new oring delivered today for the oil cooler so installed that all onto the block so its ready for the oil cooler and oil sensors for my gauges

[Image: IMG_1005_zps913898ef.jpg]

Next is installing my walbro fuel pump as long as i can find my soldering iron!

The news on the pistons rings is they are going to arrive till the new year which is very frustrating but hey such as life

The other problem is the head locating bush that i need to get as one has gone poof!! lol

just because the other connections on the cooler not 100% what they are so i juust thought no harm in leaving on, only problem there might be is the distance it comes out. Im sure i read somewhere that it is abit of a squeeze.

Do you know what the other connections on the cooler are mate?

Just coolant mate, its just a compact cooler, problem is finding a double ended piece to replace the cooler one. ie one end into the block other into the new take off.
