still looking to make the rr day ? how much you got left too doo? Errr, yes... The list goes like this: Refurb pedal box, fit new master cylinders and fit to the car. Assemble clutch (when the rest of it arrives) and give to Benross for lug machining. Fit intercooler (when it arrives) and order pipes. Lift engine (once intercooler is mocked up) and split. Take centre main to Benross for machining for centre strap. Finish the fuel plumbing at the front. Clean and paint gearbox, wok and transfer case. Clean and paint block. Cam and timing gear swap. Assemble manifolds, turbo etc. Assemble engine (once Benross has done his thing) and fit to car. Fit exhaust. New back tyres. Wiring for pump. Panic. Find that the carb etc is goosed... Fit interior. Fit the boost & oil preasure gauge. Make the boot stay shut (had to take the gas struts of for Avon...). So we have no time, no money and probably no chance, but I'm going to give it a go... I deally it needs to be running by the end of next weekend to give us a few days of fault finding.... On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Quite possible mike. What you after it for? If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

Please tell me you are going to replace those excessively large Jubilee clips with propper fuel hose clips. If not only for your safety!

Looking good matey.
Minivanless, but reluctantly happy living with the decision. There'll be another one day.

Point taken about the jubilee's. We will have to get some proper fuel hose clips on there.

Any decent machineshop will be able to get them next day delivery, which is better than many of the Mini suppliers On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

However there is a slight problem as the mains bearings are bollocksed. Yeah, just a little... 
As are the shells and thrusts 
And the cam bearings. The crank needs regrinding. 
I've pulled another one from a spare engine and that seems descent. So the block and two cranks are going of to Benross for an opinion. No chance of making the 17th now... On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:
