    It's Alive! Finished the rebuild on Thursday night and she fired up first kick after bleeding the injectors. Took her for a nice 50km test drive and all is well...phew! Ended up costing me about $4300 all up, but I saved myself a swag load of coin by doing it myself. I didn't end up getting too many pics because I was on a mission getting the job done, but I will post up the few that I did get when I can!

    So I did, bearings and rings,(deglazed the bore as opposed to rebore) new head, new water pump, new tacho sensor, turbo overhaul, injector service, timing belt, replaced a few hoses and cleaned everything up, exhaust manifold and turbo dump pipe painted in aluminium finish flame proof paint. So it's all preety now as well. I will get a some photos of my rig as well as the overhauled engine complete to show you all!
