Saturday...

OK.. Saturday comes to a close... Steering pinion is back in rack, thanks to friend taking over that job.. all gone together ok.. engine is ready to go back in,,Another hour tonight and it may have been in car, but got to cut evening a little short and light is fading.. I have put the inlet ducting on as I dont really like fitting at after engine in..not sure it's the right move..

LHM removed.... it is green, a tiny bit green, honest... I will have to put back in tomorrow if engine gets in car :( but will change it asap for hydroflush. Only about 2 - 2 1/2 litres here.... (I knew car was running low due to leak) I have a new 1l bottle too..

LHM filter #1 , mesh is very fine....

Injector pipes, quick wire brush... may as well

Filter from spare DERV engine.!.. that will do for a month :) (tight doesn't come close)

Fuel filter housing going on (Gasket was used)

I had some spare fuel pipe from the 'other' filter housing... decided to make a new turbo pipe, as it was cracking....

remove DS seals..

what a punk... guess who fitted a cam seal to both sides of head?.. forgetting that a vacumn pump goes in this side instead of a seal.. dooh... managed to lift rocker enough to loosen cam cap enough to get seal back out... !

Nice work :) thanks to mr egr blanker man, an aluminium plate for the inlet, too :)

ahh... if you're going to make that with it, then I am ok..

Someone's stealing my steel..

Decided you can't have spare manifold gaskets lying around, so used metal and paper ;)

What do you mean, officer? I don't know what an actuator arm is, let alone how to shorten it!>? Will do some fuel pump tweaks in the near future, in the mean time have shortened this by about 1/4 inch.. if nothing else, it's free'd up to mess about with later.. :)

Old manifold bottom.. two main differences, the inlet pipe has become black plastic, and there is a slight curve to the left hand edge - on the newer style manifold.. time is as always running out, so decided to keep with the early manifold as it's clean :)

Cleaned inlet manifold, and the Garret turbo waiting for a general clean.. noticed I had cleaned the older manifold... oops (gasket was removed from face later)

Off to dealers first thing, for the first and hopefully last time :) comfy chairs and a lot of beaurocracy to get these bits... Pipe was £4 and could well have been the reason there was an oil leak around back of engine... Driveshaft seals and sump washer brought total bill to £30....

Today, engine needs to be ready to go back in ASAP... weather looks dodgy for tomorrow too. Plus, wanted to have tomorrow for connecting all the pipes and wires and testing...
