been a busy boy

As most of you know the LE had wee oil problem as in it wasnt being pumped round the engine it was just getting pumped straight back into the sump with out getting any where else, which resulted in the bottom end rattling about like a tool box falling down a set of metal stairs, so iv had to push the winter rebuild forward and hold back on some of the mods till later,

engine out

new engine after a clean and paint lots of new parts so should go well

just need to get the rest of the bits back on and back in the LE
