was actually there today, buying some unc bolts..

but they dont keep instock the really odd stuff.usually we have to order in special from them (work use them).ie extra finemetric..but hey worth a try..

the problem is con rod nuts are extra "tall" and have a small outer dia..ie 14mm spanner size compared to 17mm ..

fingers crossed though..i still hopping mad that the shop lost the nut...totally (if no luck) fecked my plans...wanted to either get the gmc running or swap it out fir the boosted 4.6 this holiday boring period!

Really........... Here just go to dealer or parts store and tell them you need a nut for such and such engine and they get it from the parts shelf or the nut and bolt section.

they dont employ skilled people here now ,youd be surprised how many times i have to help the local supplier out
 
thanks to all.!!Espically Mark..

now know no one in the uk stocks metric extra fime 10 grade nuts..real steel included..

however found one and will have tomorrow..proper gmc one at that..so 6.2 turbo will be alive! and no dought for sale due to 4.6 supercharged..offers over 1000 please
 
did you find why it was smoking like a bitch?

machine shops stuck , both the new skimmed heads and brand new pistons have come back with dinks on them, some quite big!
 
few dinks but it could have been from when the pressed the gudgeon pins in at the machine shop as I never unwrapped them between, there was one right on the edge of the crown but not much I can do about it now lol
