sorry to say that the timingcover was not the only rattle on lisa,s new engine

after trying all other things

i,m afraid it,s the cam follower,s

so this engine won,t be ready for the rivrun

but the goodish new,s is that after a good day,s work today
dean terry and myself have removed lisa,s engine and put it in the corner of the work shop
we then removed my engine

and put mine into lisa,s car (i couldn,t bare to look at lisa,s sad face any more )
don,t worry about me love it only took me 5 years to get mine on the road

so purple ronnie is up and running all ready for rivrun

terry being a bit cheeky

the 3 wise monkey,s

lisa,s revamped dash board (i,m gonna feel like a real man driving it to rivrun)
