That engine bay looks very tidy! Where did you get the silicon hoses from (I presume they are silicone?)Membership Secretary

Looking very nice Peter. Think there will be a few of us on here jealous. It is absolutely stunning.
Hoses I believe are from here
http://www.autosiliconehoses.com
Which I've used for a few things and service has been pretty decent. I'm sure Peter will confirm though.______________________________________________

Pipers will come coated in black phosphate stuff, so I don't think they are piper cams.
Did you happen to measure the lift on them?
Timing the cams is a pain in the rear, but at least once it is done you know you've got the most out of your spend.www.maestroturbo.org.uk - The Tickford Maestro Turbo Register

To time the cams you'll need:
Vernier pulleys, i.e. adjustable
Two DTI gauges (3 is preferable but two will do)
The settings from the cam manufacturer (usually given as lift at TDC measurement).
Some metal brackets to mount the DTI gauges
Some extension pieces for the DTI gauges (TIG welding rods work brilliantly for this).
Lots of patience!
