Not sure if you already have but try and factor in getting it mapped straight away.

Mine was transformed after a map from Romain on K pro

Good progress mate, looking forward to more updates. How did prep/paint the engine block if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks mate appreciate it

I just degreased the whole motor. Then gave it a light sand then a few coats of primer. Then used VHT silver paint mate. Hope this helps pal
 
Got the gearbox stripped down and painted the cases before it goes back together

Got the K-tuned oil cooler hoses on and most of the engine back together

Also got a Koyo half radiator for the time being

Also a new rocker cover is on order

Really nice job! Your gonna need another can of gear oil to replace the oil once you’ve the diff bedded in. They say do figure of 8’s for half and hour in the instructions, but do at least 45 minutes. You want to get rid of as much of the break in gunk as possible
