Its so much better than buying stuff at a store. More boxes, its a surprise, plus you pay in advance so it really does feel like christmas

Keep up the great work

So a new water pump I see, engine gasket kit, header gasket, so what's in the two boxes?

brown box is full of new bearings and the other blue/white box are the new head bolts.

timing equipment is on backorder.

i am also waiting on new rocker studs as well but those could take a while...

this weekend is looking pretty good for getting work done which would be nice since i got next to nothing done this last weekend.

rocker arm studs are finally in the mail. $300 for 8 is a lot but given that there is only one person that had them and that person doesn't have a website or use a computer or even in business anymore i am pretty happy i was able to get them at all.

another quick update, just got off the phone with venolia, the company making my pistons, and i amended my order to include a set of rings (might as well get them from the same place as the pistons) and a set of wrist pins but they are really backed up and it is going to be at least a month till i see them. meh just more time to work on wiring and the engine bay

[Majend]

more parts are on the way

- new lifters
- an imported internally regulated Opel alternator (on backorder....)
- expanded wiring diagrams
- new trans mount

[OpelWagenGT]

update time!

Where did you get that roller rocker assembly? Also I assume you're going with solid lifters and a matching cam?
