I’m currently rebuilding the engine and gearbox on my 1989 tungsten grey R5. I’ve ordered loads of bits including a full engine rebuild kit from spain and the import tax takes the piss. Still probably cheaper than some uk suppliers however. Problem is you need the parts 🙄 once I’ve got it on the road we’ll have to meet up. Good luck with the build 👍🏻
I needed a load of parts to refresh my gt engine and have used the spanish parts people but by the time they put the postage on it was cheaper to get them over here this time
Think the rocker cover and sump are more a gloss black if you are wanting to keep it standard looking. Someone may correct me but I'm pretty sure mine is standard and is a gloss finish.
Amazing cheers. We aren’t going for a full on exact rebuild however trying to keep the look fairly standard. Thank you for the information and hope you are enjoying the content.

Will you be taking your pistons to be fitted to the conrods at the engine place that you mentioned ?
I will have a chat with them about the conrods yes. Not sure yet but believe they are bit of a pain to fit.
