Its cool reading through your thread as my car is in with paul at the moment but is a week or two behind yours.
The West Covina guys are real helpful, you must be the guy who lives in a house without a number.
I was on the phone to them the day after you ordering an oil pump, the guys thought it was crazy selling two R32 pumps in two days to two Irish lads.
no new pistons for new, not this time around anyway.
Just a full rebuild and freshen up, all the gaskets, shells, bearings, oil pump etc
Can't wait to get it back :D
