Is there supposed to be a copper washer between the block and the valve? Or does it just tighten up to the block? Also, what torque setting? Jamie

Would have thought about 110nm Jamie

I like Idrees'!!

I did an engine rebuild on my drive, exhaust was the easiest part. Just jack her up and shove some stands under as said above! Few bolts and rubber mounts and its off/on Jamie

Yep, that was nearly my front end! Didnt even look! Was an awesome meet though, never been there before. Ill see you all at the next one! Jamie

Very tidy man, love it!

Love it!

Subaru dealer?

Fuchs Titan s 5w40 fully synthetic

Fans are directional though i think?

Hii, Ive got an GReddy Ultimate ready for my setup, but before I go about wiring it all in, is there any way I can test it to make sure it works? Like send it in to someone that deals with them etc? Cheers, Jamie

Another question, that looks like it would be very close to the ground? Jamie

PLeaseee get this going someone!

I agreeee!

Would that extra 1L of oil just be up in the oil cooler though, rather than being in the sump so making no difference? I could be wrong though, I also want to look into a baffled sump as I starved a bearing of oil on my old engine causing it to spin a shell. That was on a long sweeping corner :/ jamie

Woooo, glad she's soon to be back on the road! Any news on the injectors? Jamie

Sweeeet, would love to do that!

Sure looks it, cant wait to get her on! Cheers dude, yup I cant wait! Hahaa, yeah I did I haven't got the money, I'm -£4.59 now :/ lol Yeah, I went out in my mates the other day at 1bar and that was awesome! Update: My thermostat housing appears to be leaking slightly again, not much but still going to sort that tonight. Got some sealant off my mate, it's 'Nissans' genuine stuff, he says if that doesn't sort it, nothing will. Going to check that its not warped slightly or something and not sitting flush. Oh, and the standard spring clips on the rad hoses etc are getti

Right, well I've just done over the 500mile mark on the engine, along with the last running in oil change! Look what turned up the other day! RaceTech Manifold (To suit Civic rad) Reconditioned TD04 Turbo TIAL 38mm Wastegate The kit Soo, its another 500miles of running in, then fit the TD04 kit, then get it mapped up! Jamie

Cheers, it's getting there! Cheers pal! Jamie

Cheers! Yeah I can't wait to get the td04 set-up on! Jamie

Well, there's no more leaks! And she's running well. 180 miles out of 1000 miles running in done. Jamie

Few jobs done today, first off, sprayed the front mount black; Whilst that was drying.. We finished the engine! Fired up nice and easy, We just had to adjust the idle and ignition timing and its about there, one problem we found after we took it for a run was the thermostat housing was leaking water. So I've just been took it off, gave it a good clean (and the block) re-sealed it with gasket sealant and fingers crossed its sealed for tomorrow morning (JapFest 2). Soo, tomorrow morning I have a bumper to fit, wash it, etc etc! I'm off to bed! Jamie

Cheers man, Ahh I couldn't tell you now, the block with crank, rods and pistons was built up a while back now and I just went with the info given with the pistons if I remember right. Jamie

Shocking isn't the word!
