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

Been to Litchfield Imports today and saw the the new GTR today. The car is black and can only be described as...... STUNNING!! :bow:
It looks so much better in the flesh, huge 20in wheels, big brakes, power, lines scoops bulges - it works so well.
He's done 3500 miles in the last 6 weeks and he's described it as awesome and incredible to drive so back in a few weeks for a spin!!
