I like the idea of a wide band sensor but then that money takes me half way to fully converting to megasquirt which, as far as I am aware, features an 02 sensor anhow so would be pretty pointless. 

No, the wideband sensor is separate to the megasquirt. Its wise to get one for safety's sake. ie you can see what your fueling is doing. Its not necessary, because mappers usually have a portable unit.
I have one and it has proved very useful as i am able to adjust fuelling etc myself and see what changes are doing. I have it connected to my megasquirt too so i can datalog whilst driving and look back when back indoors.

Innovate Lc1's are good. like this. I used that seller and does a very good deal to help with taxes.

Ah I see, on a list i read to convert to ms from k-jet it mentioned an 02 sensor was needed on his list, perhaps he just put it in for safteys sake/the same reason I need one :-D

Took my practice block today to a bloke who has been building engines since time began and he said he would be happy with the results of my honing so as soon as the pistons come through im good to go. Also had a wrestle with a mates bmw engine today, f**k chain timing belts and 'special tools'. Took me 15 min to strip an 8v block to practice my honing, took well over three hours to strip two bimmer blocks.

Oh and lemski, your a douche haha

Nope, I will have somone to play with when chasing them donkeys/somone who will feel my pain when it goes tits up.

Yeh I thought I'd join u. Martins on about turb oin the 8v aswell but its only got 8valves so won't be like a 16valve. I would like to be taken out in urs to see what its got compaired to mine. Even though mine int turbo'd as of yet

  Get in on ms and mapped properly and that hopefully wont happen again.

Right, bores honed. New pistons on conrods and gaskets/bolts ordered from GSF. Tommorrow is D-day me thinks. May try and get the pistons in this afternoon but not sure if I can be arsed with filing down the rings today. Nehow will get some pics so I can essentially make a thread on how to change the head gasket on a valver. Would have helped me if I had one when stripping her down so Im sure it would help alot of people.

There is also the small case of re-building my mates bimmer engine at the same time, which is pretty chaotic to say the least
