Hi Adrian,
Yup, that was me, and yup, that was no fun........ I put a couple of pics
of the engine up for my friends back up north to see at:

Congrats on getting this far!! It's a lot of fun, even when you do have a
big leak an have to pull the engine ;-)
My leak is about 90 - 95% gone now. Once I get around to fitting the PCV I
think it will be around 99% leak free.
Good luck, have fun with it!
Robert
