Got it back today, happy with it considering how much i paid (£350!) but i HATE the vent they have cut for the T/B filter, looks sh*te, but i will get something sorted for it soon, and it serves a purpose.

Its gonna be the same as york i assume? I dont have the part that holds the battery to the tray but York said because i have a carbon bonnet it didnt matter. Should i get this addressed before the RTOC day?

Had a nice few little blasts with my mates cars yesterday. firstly my mates 2.5 Z4, from 30+ there was nothing in it until over legal speedds, only gear changes were giving me teh minor advantage, and secondly my mates chipped TTR, again peanuts in it until silly speeds, although i didnt manage...

RIght, got cams put in today, they set it all uo as normal, crank at TDC, cams at TDC etc, then we looked at the notes you gave me, im guessinng that we loosen the pulleys, then turn the camshaft until our dial gauge matches the figure that Kent have given me for lift at TDC? so in other words...
