Started my baja up to get her vital juices flowing for the first time in a few weeks, let her run for 15 mins to get the oil warm, she sounds rough but its ok her motor is coming out soon

Also picked up a nice std engine case with a crank from OD1(grant) :D

Changed the thermostat on my Zafira as well

The engine went back in on Thursday and installed the exhaust, inlet and rest yesterday. She started up without hassle now I cant wait for a proper test drive to check the mapping before I can install the electronic boost control .
