^ Best thing you can do is just ignore his replies, pretend he is not in the thread! If i were you and didnt want to waste another day, i would tried and get a bigger allen key and jam it in and use that ( like how if you rounded a bolt head, some would get a smaller one and hammer it over to fit) OR Just get a Hi speed drill, titanium tipped drill piece (for metal, not wood or anything) and drill the bastard out. You will be putting new headbolts in so you dont have to worry about them

WHered you get them front wipers from?

As Luke said you will probably have to drill it out, will be a pain in the arse though. I used an M9 spline tool for the head bolts and didnt have a problem so i dont see how you have?

^ Owned!

FARKING hell that looks brilliant!

Your Birthday today mate??? Then you are a winner as its mine too :yes:

High impedance = No resistors Low impedance = Resistors If they are high they should run about 14 Ohms or there about.

Hope its NOT set up like Being Human. Fucking hell that was gash!

Update: Ran home to check a few things and made a discovery. Its seems after all that is the knock sensor that i have broken which means i need another one. Ive tried to fit the wrong plug into the sensor but couldnt tell it fits due to not being able to see there. Wonder where that goes then. The plug in pic 3 goes into a sensor i binned due to being part of the air con thing and was located here: The two pipes i have in mine hand in PIC 1 are the wrong ones because they lead to here which seems like the s/rack to me! So it seems the pipe in pic 2 (which comes off the water pump n

Ok here we go. All those in that picture are not connected as they are going to be blocked up (bar the map sensor) and yes i have the map sensor connect as i only took the vac line out. I havent connected the vac line full yet as i plan to block them any BUT you saying i can block up the too coolant ones two??? AND that small nipple on the back of the water pump pipe, i have the pipe but i dont know where it goes?? The plug in put it fits snug in the sensor so how can two plugs fit? I will take a pic of that wire and sensor. Its doing my head in! Cheers guys.

Just the one and if you look harder ive accidently pulled the plug head off and the bare wire is next to it I cracked open the plug and refitted the wire but dont know where it goes. It bridges off from the wires by the fuel rail though.

But the thing is i have already plugged a plug into a sensor that is below the inlet manifold between the starter and alternator which is very hard to get AND is directly behind the bar which bolts the inlet to the block. Isnt that the knock sensor?

Cheers! Im aware of the vacuum and coolant problem, was just wondering about the coolant pipes because i was under the impression that one was in and the other was out.

any motor factors to be honest, even halfords

I didnt unplug the map sensor to pull the engine out, just undid the vaccum pipe. One plug (2nd pic) goes to as sensor that i chucked away located by the drivers strut, by the brake reservoir thing. Part of the aircon junk (i hope!)

Okay concerning the water/coolant pipes. Can they go anyway round?

^ Any idea? Like to get this sorted tomorow after work

Ebay ones should be fine, only a couple of quid anyway

The forged 5e is in now and its been nearly a year since i took the engine out so as it would happen im not sure on a few things. Ive fitted like 90% of things just by how the wires lay and it seem right so far. Firstly is the coolant pipes. I know there are 4 nipples and the 1st one is vacuum, middle to are coolant and the furthest is vacuum. Now the two vacuum pipes, is one in and one out or does in not matter which one goes where? Theres a pipe that comes off what i think is midway of the water pump pipe, where does that go? This plug, i cant seem to find out where it goes? It comes

Im loving how quick this is going!

Yes you have it right. I dont think there is n oem gasket for the decat to exhaust. As for the FMIC you can use a paper gasket and it will be fine. I should have the cylinder head to manifold gasket and the manifold to turbo gasket brand new if thats any use to you.

lulz, gutta admit onli reesun i clikd da page woz because i soor da tytle

They are cheap enough from the dealers mate. Reason being you are not suppose to re-use them is because they are stretch bolts, obviously once torqued they become stretched. Do it once, do it right

^ What he said. Drain out the oil using the bottom nut, tighten that back up then loosen the middle nut just by the gearbox mount and fill up using the top hole. When it seeps out from the loosened middle hole then its enough.
