getting 4 although probably not je ones. wasnt coscast head no, although have killed one of them already previously. if the block had been fucked i would have seriously had to consider not bothering again, but, i guess there is no fun in quitting. although i wont change much on engine as i was extremely happy with it the way it was, i am having a cylinder head off getting sorted. hopefully get pics of that in a week or 2. i am not aiming to have this back together as quickly as usually happens. i can wait until early next year if i have to, fuck it.

now that is a bloody clever way to stiffen engine mounts.
good effort dude. just hope the tigerseal doesnt react with the rubber of the mount and detiorate it
