Had an absolute nightmare last night with torquing the head up. First round of torquing one bolt snaps. Undo, find oil in bore, clean out all bores. Start second go at it, another bolt starts not torquing (the very last one on the last stage of torquing), so undo it all. Clean everything out again - thoroughly. Third times the charm. Proceed building head up - bolt for one of the cam holders/brackets snaps. Swear profusely, throw toys out of pram, go home to sleep. Where we are up to now. Either midnight MOT or first thing in the morning. Gangzta stylez We'll be there, either tomorrow afternoon or Saturday lunch time. Right better get back to work.

Epic list of problems and issues. After 36 hrs straight at the workshop we just can't get the car mot'd and taxed and whatnot in time.
So no Judge I'm afraid guys. We tried, really a lot.
On the bright side, due to the monstrous effort put in, The Judge will be back on the road next week.

FAIL!!!
Comrade Stalin would be most displeased.
Come on tigs, we're not leaving the north (gods country) until 2pm tomorrow so you don't have to leave too early either. This gives more vital hours for mot prep.
You can do iiiit

Looks like not much has happened, but nothing further from the truth. It is all plumbed, bolted and wired in again. Just not getting spark at the moment, will get it fired up this week coming up, fix the MOT issues and then start going everywhere in plumes of tyre smoke. Loads of new stuff and improvements so hopefully it's going to go a bit better. Still some issues to sort out - clanging prop mostly. Will have to think of a solution.

This is the prop issue, the rear part of the prop that connects to the diff has a sealed 'thing' at the back of it so it moves backwards and forwards in a dampened fashion. The one at the front does not, and clangs like a futhamuggin muthafugga! Every time you lift off it whines and grinds, every time you accelerate it bangs and clangs. Is there some sort of 'thing' which is meant to be there that is missing?
