Fell off my bike... In a really pathetic way! Didn't even notice at the time and went back out for another ride on Friday. Then pain kicked in Saturday like I've never felt so went to A&E... Just taking loads of drugs now :)

Brilliant build :) . Add in pro build labour charge and you can see how build costs can add up .

I think your level of detail obsession will serve you well! Rob Walker who did the machining on my engine had a load of Jag 6 cyl blocks and heads in for machining, so worth talking to him.
