And a bit of end floating, and I called it a night at 3am :) (Monday morning, where I got up and went to work) Monday Night, Fat Dabs of Silicone, following Fig. 183 Oil on each bearing and on goes the bottom end! With its half bearing washers of course. Tightening process as illustrated in...

I say public holiday; and then I end up doing a full 12hour work day, YAY OK so, I been doing Masa things. Sat in the engine bay for a silly few hours playing the fun game of, why the **** won't this come out. TRW say they are clueless about their own product. Which product am I talking about...

oh yes, forgot to mention it! Frank done the mains, but I ran it through once again to be sure they were clear Frank couldn't do the heads, as he couldn't figure out the thread pitch. I managed to get only halfway down (not to damage the head surface), cleared up and blown out. Took a solid...

Cheers Phil ;) I don't see anything wrong with mine, apart from a few bits that I'd personally wish to get sorted. Why I'm not hunting for new, no point really. My one has the Sacer Chinese conversion, which someone has done prior. As to why I mentioned I was not the first one to open mine...

my professor said my ideas and writing style is atrocious and difficult because it's all over the place. I totally agree with him when I have no passion for his written topic HAHA. so cheers, albeit I know I can devise this better :p Believe Practice makes perfect, and I'm out of it all :) uh...

I mean, this is the first layer of satisfaction haha Now this.. This is the next one :) but I'll get to this in the next few days Actually, I am tired.... throttle body spiel tomorrow! But. When do I get the next page, bit packed here lol

It only gets better from here :) I think.. Wickedly enough, as soon as I arrived home I had access to a mate's brand new hydraulic press to swap the bearings out of their metal guide shells. I attempted to do this prior to leaving for my trip, in a vice and that was to no avail. The press...

I have certainly fallen off the planet this year. wow.. it's been half a year since I've caught a moment of time to sit down and reflect on this journey. I can't believe I started this all a mere year and some months ago; never did I expect this to expand into the precise depths of every single...

The nuts attaching the exhaust manifold to the head are a struggle enough to remove. You would be removing the head with the turbo attached. Unless you are superiorly creative in making attachments to reach each nut and can apply enough torque to undo, there is not much choice. Exhaust can be...

That's the entire AC System, from end to end. Hope that's of some help O-Rings? Click me! haha, thank you! I'm sitting here just waiting to get the engine pieces back so I can move the project along! Need to order rubber connector boots as most have perished. Might go count some quantities...

Alright quick one Been knocked out all week with the flu, but prior to being disabled, I had a quick visit to the engine shop! Crank has been internally cleaned; glad I asked for that to be done since the scoring on the bearings was a clear indicator that the galleries weren't in great...

Not sure if either of these might help, since this is the LHS bank Cyl 5-8 Cyl 8: Intake-closed Exhaust-closed (TDC, so must be) Cyl 7: Intake-open/starting to open Exhaust-closed Cyl 6: Intake-closed Exhaust-starting to open Cyl 5: Intake-starting to open...

I'm well further in than I ever imagined :| haha Props to you too, reviving one for yourself :) Don't call me a copycat in a few months by the way, I coincidently picked the same silver scheme for the manifolds and exhaust housing :oops: Something I am yet to get to! Comes down to the shims...

Safrane answered it perfectly. Only have some engine parts, the rest are off one they wrecked, otherwise they try to source from the Archive. Cheaper to go to another middleman in Italy than them. Oh and you won't get a 60£ knock sensor without 120£ of shipping from Eurospares :) Should attach...

Its going so great that I've done almost nothing for two months... While I am here quickly; **edit quickly was an understatement haha. ->Heads are fully apart, so chains are off and so is the plastic guide. Replacement is always an option, just need to find - discover the shop to remake them. I...

I do not have a donor vehicle, close to impossible here in Australia(only have 128 + imports(3200GT) in the country, heaps more 4200, but haven't found a manual one cheap just yet haha). Sourcing all parts from UK-Germany-Italy-Netherlands etc. Can't help in this situation, sorry @4200_GT...

Already onto it! There was spilt coffee in the passenger side footwell and just under the seat(a spot that is permanent), carpet's been shampooed and wet vacuumed and is just sitting vertically in the garage. I make sure to do this with all my vehicles, no matter. It's just the cleanliness...

Wow... Been 4 months since I've checked the thread. Had a crazy burnout session where I was mentally just gone. I have been trying to sort everything out, do everything, have a holiday and I just hit a crazy brick wall. I had a solid break from doing much, I just liaised to get parts ordered and...

So the Trunk is done; and I got the battery on spot on; took a bit of fiddling to get the positive terminal on correctly. Anyway; Negative terminal was neglected and damaged so I fitted new heatshrink on Car also started paying itself off; as I got the Passenger seat out to inspect the running...

Where to begin... I had a massive burnout on my part; trying to do multiple things all at the same time. Finished my engineering degree and awaiting confirmation to continue onto my masters part time as I signed on to work, full time(fund my addiction of cars). So for the past two months; just...
