Why would you be petty and say i know best, i clearly dont when im posting asking for help and taking advice. I have said over and over that i am taking on everyones points. Ive also explained my need for a workspace etc to be able to drop the pan and do it that way. Unfortunately at present one is not available to me.
No parts that i will change to the new engine will be contaminated with swarf? What part would i possibly be moving that would not be able to be cleaned. And if you say Turbo then thats already covered as that will not be being swapped over.....
If one of these na/ts that has done the work the way i was asking about had gone pop i would be heartily avoiding this method, but they haven't. Im also not ruling out completing the work one of the other ways as people have pointed out.
But again for the 3rd time, im asking for assistance mechanically, no matter which direction i take, not criticism or snide comments.
