The motor in the ute has been crook for 12 months or more Trev, this has just accelerated the rehab program
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

Block has been stripped , oil galleries cleaned up and dedagged , honed up nicely which is pretty amazing seeing as its stock bore - now need to find a set of stock rings for it

Both head and block modified to suit a Harv special gasket as well as- found out the stock holes aren’t central to the hole in the gasket so used a die grinder rather than a drill to enlarge them.
The whole lot will go in the robowash tomorrow then hopefully back together on Tuesday night
