well my z has been in bits for months down th the guy doing the lifters for me fooked his back up and has been off work for last 10 weeks or so,so as i know the garage owner well i said i'll finish it off, so i replaced the lifters then rebuilt the front end of the engine (doing a 60k service at the same time) got it all back together yesterday and after the fuel pressure had built up turned the key, must say i was nervous incase it went tits up, well she fired up and ran upto temp no probs at all ,just the body to finish now,and refit thr rest of my bling,it may possibly be ready for ross on wye on the 13th. :dance: :duffer:

Well done m8.. I bet your arse was sucking up the seat when you turned the key :)
