Guest NaspSupra Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Ahhhh you bought this! I spoke to the guy selling this and he told me the story of how he thought it had dropped a valve. I was trying to convince my mate to have it but he was being a wuss when i told him it may need a new engine lol Good buy, congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 (edited) thought id fire an update out there! had a rather productive day saturday, managed to get the engine and box out with relative ease with the help of THE MAUL i swear this thing was designed to pull planes out of the the sky! and the full extent of the damage i think we've done well to say the total time spent workin on the car barely tops 20 hours Now for manual conversion and new lump!

SUPRALOOPY Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 All day?? Engine out in 3 hours.. Too much tea drinking in my eyes.. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 the hardwork you refer to was figuring out if the jack could prop the box up whilst i pulled the thing out! what exactly was hard about that?! i let you have a play with the grinder so shush up moaning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 All day?? Engine out in 3 hours.. Too much tea drinking in my eyes.. LOL You did not see the underneath of it, every bolt we wanted to undo was rusted beyond use. and the exhaust just did not want to come off. Martin crying that he does not want to cut the cat temp sensor wire took a few hours too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 (edited) Bit of an update. Finaly back to, well not exactly as today my mates misses had there 3rd baby so i couldnt go get the engine from the garage. Picked the engine up at long last last weekend though Big thanks to the lads who came together and put the money together to get me this engine. Much appriciated and wont be forgotten JamieP Supraloopy Steve Spedd Dr_Doom and Neil-NA Also would like to thank rob_boi for supplying me with fresh coolant and clutch fluid. Star man Fingers crossed will get the engine in next weekend and wired up then that just leaves the trans tunnel and box to fit Whilst i wasnt doing that i started taking my spare head to bits on the kitchen table Then i realised all my tools were at work again so had to stop for now. Will be rebuilding this head in the coming months. Edited July 3, 2010 by Kirk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
