Well a rather annoying twist in the tale. Installed the crank the other day after completing all pre assembly prep. Everything seemed ok bar a slight bit of clearancing needed on the girdle plate. Took everything off and found a whopper of a scratch on one of my main bearings. Annoyed doesn’t come close!
I know the block and crank were crystal clean so I can only assume that my old pot of assembly lube had become contaminated with a bit of grit or who knows what. What are the odds?!?
So, yet again, a thorough clean of block and crank before sealing away on clean bags while I await new bearings to arrive….. and a NEW bottle of assembly lube by @torcousa via @nimbusmotorsport

ok Ive decided to treat myself to an air filter for my car, but Ive come across a few things.
when I was taking all the panels off to fit the filter,low and behold theres already a BLITZ SUS core power LM induction filter. fitted.
I was not to know about this because IT DOESNT MAKE ANY NOISE!!!
but anyway Ive cleaned it and Youve never seen the bath fill of dirt so quick,, thats right kids I had a bath with my air filter :D
why doesnt it make any noise anyone? please
and might cleaning it help.
also there was a stainless steel panel underneath the airfilter which I took off, but written on the panel was a Logo for TAN adjustable suspension.
UP and Down logos but all in japanese now I know that its pretty low but how do I adjust it further?? as the back is a tad higher than the front
anyhelp appreciated
thanks chris :D
