Sparky Posted January 22, 2011 Author Posted January 22, 2011 Cheers for reading it mate, most of it is a load of bollocks And fuck off Luke UPDATE!!!! No pics though I am afraid nothing special anyway only spent about 2 hours on it, got all the ancillaries stripped off so its just the block and head, got the crank pulley off on the 2nd attempt after it snapped one of my Dads spanners, he wasnt impressed So tomorrow he is going to be removing the oil pump as we run out of time (light) as he leant his garage lights to my cousin and I cant go down tomorrow because its my old ducks birthday. With the oil pump off I can order the correct one and I am just waiting on the ARP's and Athena gasket now Sorry about no pics but like I said nothing good to see so maybe next weekend when the car is down there and some proper progress is made ;) Quote
The Toffinator Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Bet you cant wait mate! should be awesome when its done Quote
Sparky Posted January 29, 2011 Author Posted January 29, 2011 Just waiting on James to pop up with a few bits he forgot to drop off with the oil cooler.Athena Gasket is here just waiting on my ARP Bolts and OEM oil pump.Tomorrow my old man will be finishing stripping the engine as I'm partying it up in Birmingham tonight , checking the rings and shell's. Hopefully the ACL main bearings I have here will be the same fit as my crank (just gotta check that they are) then if they are I will order some ACL conrod bearings Then the fun begins next weekend Quote
