Yeah its getting closer. changed the oil pump seal gasket also another sump gasket. both of these have been changed. It does not appear to be leaking but its not been turned over yet. Found a part in the gear box that needed replacing. looks like a Y fork thats connects to the release bearing (i think) and the povit it connects to were very worn and sloppy. this is turning up tomorrow.

Its close now. All issues resolved but one. still getting an oil leak from the oil pump. its had the gasket seal & o ring replaced. The new o ring had torn I did think that would have been the end of it. Sadly not.

Its only leaking when the engine is running, it is a genuine part from Toyota also. its like theirs something missing or not tight inside it. Ive just dropped off the old pump, time to compare the 2 see whats at miss.

I cant get an MOT on it till Monday. the 4-5 places I've used before and are close are all booked up till then.

Bit of a kick in the teeth, but who cares it sorted 8)

Sounds epic tho, that KO system deffo gives it a very deep burble. more to come soon.

Now the engine builds out of the way can start finishing getting the other bits of body kit im missing.

im still trying to work out weather i want to go with coil overs or uprated shocks and springs.
