hi thanks thats great steve

well hi peeps thanks martin for starting this off. to say this one has been a pig is an understatement. oil in water first time. strip down and rebuild .100 miles later get water in no6 and snap a rod. another rebuild and back to oil in water. so the story goes... hell raiser im interested for sure. and as martin says we sure have enough bits to hang on it.. give me a number and when i get up i will call you. i need this car driving. as it makes one hell of a large ornament..

thanks andrew. this gets a mystery cleared up. as when i rang nissan today they wasnt able to say.

well im not taking any chances this time had heads skimmed due to oil in water . engine rebuilt and ended up with hydraulic lock as no.6 filled with water.result busted conrod or end cap. not sure as yet .looking friday. so last time we reused old ones. turns out some same they are stretch other say they arent. well second time around im not taking that gamble.
