Thats a bargain for the labour and machiening! i wasnt banking on that much for all the gaskets though, looks like a little more saving is needed. Did you do the engine mounts at the same time?

Head gaskets ain't cheap it's all the little things you need that I never thought about that rise the costs like oil pump all the internal stuff like valve stem seals all that stuff.
Haven't got it mapped yet got to bills got it dynoed and she was running very lean fooked fuel pump so getting a lcr pump fitted then going back in two weeks for dyno and map bad day but it happens 
ahh gutting, its never straight forward with your new one is it! thats quite a travel for you isnt it?
Yer your right it's always somthing but it feels like the last hurdle now I can't wait to just have it running decent power so I can stop spending for a while.
She pulled only 189 bhp with a wrecked fuel pump lol
It's a 200 miles round trip not too bad but I wouldent got anywhere else top bloke

yer i got vr6 clutch setup on i will pm you all the prices mate such a crazy setup already whats your plans ? engine rebuild then mapping i hope.
No couldent map it basically my engine is too efficient to run a generic map such as stage 2 so it needs a custom map but that's 600 ish pound and not worth it for a tiny ko3s so I'm just going to save for big turbo/ hybrid.
It's pushing 210bhp on stage one fast enough for now New wheels fitted and full aligned.

****ed fuel pump was losing you 20bhp then? Get some pics up with the new wheels on!

Yer will do when I get a chance to clean it up. fuel pump was doing far more damage than just taking away 20 bhp was running stupidly lean. I think I got away with it. Forged pistons and rods can take the heat from running lean all is well now tho.
Give me a buzz in the week and I'll let you have a go see what you think
