So, haven't updated this in while. Since December:

Engine stripped down:
- looks like there's been a bit of pinging - enough that the BPT head is fubar lol
- pistons rings were never installed properly - gaps were in the same spot on the piston!
- crank, pistons and block fine

So:
- new NA head has been ported and polished
- Toda 1.0mm head gasket sourced from Japan

Engine being built next week! Much the same specs as the previous build, about the only changes are the head gasket, new PAR conrods and the NA BP head.

Oh, and a new Mazdaspeed rolled-edge slash-cut exhaust tip sourced.
