Bloggers might remember this pic below of Neil's engine,  80% done before he went hibernating,
It is now fitted and is soon to be finished off.....

Just last weekend I was over putting some finishing touches to it with him,
A Quick recheck to the head to make sure all valve clearances are in spec..


He has a couple of bits to order up and We'll have his little carb'd 4age singing again!

A new oil pump, water pump and a 3.05 shim and I reckon she's ready to be Torqued and Timed !!

I have to admit , including my 2 sets of itbs , Dave's epic intake and exhaust , and Sarah's blueprinted blue-top, Neil's 4ag does sound the best when the carbs are chartering !!


Anyway, from now on he'll keep you updated, 
So welcome to our 4th member and 5th GH car, I think a new batch of stickers and mugs is in order.
