- 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.
this is all lies... lies i tell you.. its been more than a week rupe where is the beasty HT
