[Karma Supra]

Nice!!!! I love this bit ofa build, when you have the main bits and can just get about assembly!

[dawesy]

well kinda ground to a halt, came to replace the two valves that had an argument with the now detached piston to find two broken guides. decided to replace the 8 inlet ones as there is a little oil in the intake, it hasnt come from the turbo as the IC pipe work is dry so only place is guides or seals.

gonna be busy next week but hope to get back on it the week after.

[Leeky]

tasty looking hardware there dude :)

£400 worth of scrap JE forged pistons (can you spot which rod failed :) )

and a very battered baffle plate (lives between the crank and sump)
