Damnation: The Cynos Project

I think my titles are getting incrementally worse as I go on...ANYway...

A few updates, namely, I got the cylinder head back!! Unfortunately I've had to sell my left testicle to pay for it leaving me less sexually productive, more on that later. But yes, I've had to pay dearly for having the cylinder head cleaned and skimmed but I guess I'm partly at fault for not disassembling/re-assembling it myself.





I also got the turbocharger back as can be seen above, and unfortunately I could not use my immaculate CT9a housing due to several differences between the housing that would prove prohibitively expensive to modify to suit, oh well! I also had a bit of a result in that I manage to source someone to skim the block assembly, for just £50! Now if only I found him 3 weeks earlier for the cylinder head...

I also took the oppurtunity to get some petrol and soak all the bottom end parts in a big box, to prepare them for assembly (note, I had already soaked and cleaned most parts at this point, just the camshaft caps and connecting rod caps in there):



I will also hopefully get the sump fitting welded onto the oil sump, as well as buying the last remaining items required for the build - as soon as the block is back I'll hope to have the crankshaft loosely assembled, infact, I hope to have the engine nearly fully assembled before I leave on holiday.
