Child care arrangements change next week, so hopefully that'll free up some time.
I need to free up some space too though

Transfer case end float being measured.
Only a couple of bits to do before the engine goes in.
Progressing at a glacial pace

Flywheel lapped and primary end float sorted.
I'll be getting the transfer case back on Saturday with its new bearings fitted and end float all sorted.

You'll be waiting a while.
I'm not going to run the engine until I've sorted the brakes so I can drive it straight away

No, need pistons and seals, pressure limiting valve and master cylinder. Over 200 quid to spend

A few more bits done, just waiting for some parts from Minispares then I can finish it.
I filled the oil filter with oil yesterday 3 times. I was amazed at how much was absorbed just by allowing it to stand for a few minutes. Hopefully this will help with initial oil pressure
