well mixed results today ..... engine is in and all going but had a few issues with water leaks .....

had an o-ring die so replaced that and stopped that leak but there is also a leak in the water pump i cleaned up and put back in ... so i'll be visiting super cheap tomorrow then that should sort all the coolant issues....

also you will notice the air box is in there but i need a bigger size pipe and a 90 degree bend so i have the old filter off the 202 for the time being

I will be interested to see how much timing it will take.
