head has been sent to gilberts engineering and has bee given back looking like new with the exception of some pitting around the thermostat outlet

[leadfoot]

well today my baby spat the dummy and i now off the road awaiting the transplant no use spending money on an engine that coming out.

nothing serious just munched on an accessories belt.

so watch this space as i perform the heart breaking task of stripping out the old engine.

[mototo]

nice. yours should be done quicker than mine.

Im sure it will be a piece of cake for you, i did mine all by myself with 0 prior knowledge of pulling engines out. Did do heaps of homework and research tho so that did help.

are you going fmic?

[EVL20T]

Did you end up getting new lifters or did u get lifters with the engine?? only saying coz i have the standard lifters from that engine still in my garage

hang on somthing missing here!


oh so that where you went

the little sohc is now sitting comfortably on an old tyre on the workshop floor beside my little borthers red cc gl coupe if he's lukcy i might let him have 1.8l of sohc cam fury!

[milkandoj]

Best place for that motor, on an old tire!

[leadfoot]

the coupe reluctantly accepted the 4g93t this afternoon (it now sits in the engine bay lossly on the engine mounts) in the comming days i've gota find what goes where and nut out how to run the cooler piping.

in other news thanks to evo 00X i've got myself a weighted gear knob. the carmate f tr style front bar arrived today needs some minor trim work. (off to the pannel beater for that! but not before the cooler is mounted up how i want). i hope to get my gsr cluster in the next few days. and my spark plug and manifold covers early next week.

not long now yay!

[romeo]

car looks really nice loving the headlights and bonnet, cant wait to see when its finished

[leadfoot]

well the coupe got it's cold side piping done today thanks to donations from a mercedes benz sprinter (god i love my old mans spare parts bin!)

next on the hit list is the hot side just waiting on the water lines so i can bolt up the turbo and get it right the first time. then it's off to an engineering mob to tig wled some clamp groves and the bov out let on

then turn the key will get photo's of the final installation for those following at home.
