Quick update I have rebuilt the engine and she's good had a oil pressure issue, when it was reved above 3-3.5k it was sitting at 120 psi so I dropped the oil out in the weekend,

An pulled the oil cooler an all off made sure the release valve was working and took the pressure sender out cleaned it out with tissue an she seams ok 5k and 90psi sat still.

Having fun trying to bleed the clutch sounds as its just making contact with the bearing an making a nasty noise, :(

An it grinds going to 3rd at 3k revs starting to think the box is naff :o more expense befor the final bits to finish her off
