|

Manifold fouls the banjo bolt and intake housing on the turbo, not sure why... tolerances may have been out on the manifold... but the easiest way to solve is to fit a 4mm plate to lower the turbo down slightly.

How will you time the engine? Line up both cam and cam sprocket then belt on adjust tensions?
Thanks

I assume you mean the initial timing? Same as most engines - crank at TDC, then line up mark on cam pulleys with those on the backing plate. Fit belt and tension.

Had some spare time and motivation today. Very rarely do I get both... 
Another spacer (alloy, so could make it myself this time):
Rest of the polished pipe work on:
And finally got around to pulling the subframe out:

This is fantastic - but I think I'm only seeing a few of the pics, eg post above - I can only see 1 pic showing the engine - is it just my PC?
Good stuff, will look good in the bay
Cheers

hmm, will try from home, my employer has blocked all forums, social networking sites and anything else that might distract.
Somehow club cappo escaped the block.... |

Bush mechanics 101: 2 ton ratchet strap and a pipe sling make an excellent engine hoist.

Is it weird that I am spending more time looking at pics of your engine then looking at porn on the net? 
Nick, put up a list of specs and parts used for your engine build |

Some more progress seeing as it was a nice sunny day, well for winter anyway...
Their long awaited reunion:
A hint of my colour scheme (is a lot more metallic than the photos show):
Decided to use good clamps on all big hoses:
Alternator and radiator hoses on (top hose is the same colour as the bottom ones, silly camera):

The engine looks perfect and your attention to detail far exceeds mine.
However looking at the pics, the 2nd from last one shows a rusty spot in your engine bay, are you going to sort that? its about 2 inches into the car from the blue VIN plate and to be honest it was the first thing i noticed when i saw that pic. |

Believe it or not i did, i aint complaining i think the work done to date goes into the realm of art / carnography but my eyes were just drawn to that point. Its a curse, it happens with buildings also i can be looking at the finest architectural work of art and i'll be drawn to a bad mortar joint or something stupid.
Yet you look at the state of my car and you wouldn't think this  probably why i have to drive fast, that way i dont get time to admire the interior. |

What about the wiring though - are you going to hide it away? or make it shout??
