All the parts on order now, so just a waiting game should get most next week. I’ll just be cleaning and painting some other bits over the weekend.I did find the evidence as to why the bottom end seized, the oil pump got stuck. Fixed that now after some advise, and have actually modified it now which will help to give more oil pressure too.Company with my turbo rang and told me it’s completely gone which I did expect, so having a new core put in but a billet version so it’s a slight upgrade and I’m pretty sure it’ll run around 300bhp if I were to get it mapped on that. Won’t get the turbo back until the week after next though as the core takes 5 days to arrive.Should hopefully still be making FCS this year if progress goes well!Also made up a mock radiator from cardboard, but lead time is about 5-6 weeks so not sure on that yet.</blockquote>
