    Hi guys,
    My XJ Turbo rebuild is coming along (albeit slowly) but she's getting there. Comments and suggestions are welcome (and any surplus parts donated will be truly appreciated). Thanks to Len for the prompt delivery of parts...

    Here's the link. Click on the XJ Photo Album. Thanks again

    Looks great so far, I looked through your pics and liked the engine work. What or who makes the piston kit and what is the displacement. What did you do to the head. Looks great so far, will be nice to see how it runs.

    Thanks. Those are the standard pistons with new rings. I sent it out for a three angle valve job and ported the intakes (just smoothing out the casting flaws actually).

    Those chromed parts look so nice! How much does that cost??

    Thanks shnuffy. Well, they were cheap...'bout $120. But then I live halfway round the world from you so things are cheaper here :)

    The downside is I can't find many parts here so will have to get stuff from the US.
