Mmm, sort of but nothing earth shattering! Puks coming on really well, have a bit of an oil prob at the mom, so back to Bas tomorrow to see tony and see whats what. Just been down to see The Nickster and sort out the quick respray, sorry i didnt see Al, but looking very hopeful to get puk booked in in the next couple of weeks and then a weeks worth of work...very excited!!! Took the sponsor and he was dead impressed with the work going on, especially jono's van :)

No prob, not sure quite what the problem is yet. Puk just pssed all her oil down the back of the block. Dont like it and it worries me...never had a car do it and concerned at implications. Tis a bgger as she runs so well with oil staying in!

Hi J.C.
It's probably just the cambox gaskett they can be a real pain.
Make sure the gaskett you are using is soft as i have had
problems with the hard ones.
Keep up the good work & the blog,
Great stuff all the best yours truly C.E.
