All back together

The car went back together over the weekend, with everything bar the throttle bodies now back on the engine. The TBs are staying off so we can take a look at installing some vacuum lines for balancing, and to reseal the gaps on number 3 to ensure it's not a leak causing the lean running. Looking closer at the butterfly on 3, it also looks like it's sitting open a little on idle, so that might also be something to correct.

Apart from that, no further progress - hopefully the vacuum lines will be in and I can reinstall everything on the car next weekend. Kerry also re-polished the extractors, so it will be easy to see if the cylinder is still running lean. I'm also really hoping the oil leak is resolved. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.
