Replaced the control arm ball joint today with massive help from @Flossie , don't think i could have done it on my own! I'm rubbish at thinking my way out of problems but I'll remember for a next one! Thank you :)

Great news. Went to hospital yesterday for colonoscopy. Camera right up to where splice is from tumour removal and all clear . NO signs of cancer only a non cancerous polyp found and that was removed. Slept a lot better last night :vb-angel1...

Replaced the b*st*rd leak off pipe to #1. Seems cutting the end off lasted about a day. Those leak off pipes appear to be single use and harden in the heat. Once fitted you can't disturb them without having to replace them. Cleaned the engine...

valve processing with abrasive paste. On the left, unmachined seats and valves, on the right, seats and valves ground with coarse and fine abrasive paste. Good night
