i eventually got the engine built with darton sleeves then life got in the way
anyway ive manaed to get the car running and ive now got headgasket problems :(
i used a cometic mls 3 layer
failed on all inlets
held down with arp studs
the sleeves dont seem like they have dropped,i gave a quick measure and they are about 2 thou plus,i will properly check once its all cleaned up
