  1. If it's not raising the compression ratio too high then I would imagine you'll be okay mate. Mine had clearance, just less then 60 thou so if I did miss a gear then I could be in a world of pain! Sunday - get the hubs done! Press the spindle into the hub bearing, remember to support the inner race of the bearing from behind! Then I pressed in the extended ball joints - removed the decal around the edge of the ball joint as it was just getting caught on the edge of the hole in the hub And reinstall on the car Brake disc and caliper carrier in place with all the shims in the right order to get the caliper and pads in the correct position relative the disc. I held the disc in place with a bolt temporarily and the wheel went on with no clearance issues. One corner left to do and it's back on its own wheels

  2. Got further with the front hubs. I took them into work to press the bearings in but the press is pretty basic and wasn't up to the task. Plan B needed! I managed with to press them in with my dads old hydraulic press and the old bearing shell in a few minutes I didn't think to bring a set of circlip pliers so cant lock in the bearing and press in the spindle but should have access to more tools tomorrow. Hard bit is done now though Dropped in to see how the engine build is getting on the way down to see family for the weekend. So glad I did as I was able to do some work in putting it together and help check a few bits. So, first build Andy did turned up that the valves got dangerously close to the pistons. He had to machine larger pockets in the top to give the clearance needed and we had to double check everything. We did one cylinder Also took the time to setup the vernier pulleys according to the Toda spec sheets. These cams are awesome build quality and the vernier pulleys are a work of art! No clearance issues anymore! Build can now continue!
