Couple of pictures from before i started taking the engine out..

putting the new head on, and having the omex fitted last summer..


T34 going on.



Couple videos of it on the rollers having its base map.



Got to love some red glowing!



Next up was the brake conversion, dont have many pics just the final look.



What i was left with over my car was a layer of metal filings from the grinding of the calipers to fit under the standard 15's, which soon turned to rust in the rain, so out came some little treats from the detailing kit.

Purple liquid indicates the metal filings.





Oh and the result of me putting my fingers in between the spokes to feel the gap, which my mate then decides to turn the wheels..Ouch is a good word to use.



Just incase you couldnt make out the above picture..My nail has since fallen off and grown back again!



Then the headgasket blew on my running in miles, approx 600miles, only just found out the reason which my original tuner should have told me, it was becasue i was using a head that had the oil/waterways for a zetec block rather than cvh so the headgasket obviously couldnt do its job! very annoying but not to worry.

Already had the head off at this point because it blew the gasket so a couple of pics as to where i am now.

Turbo out.



More stuff out.



As it stands now, Going to respray the engine bay whilst ive got room.



Today ive been preping the rocker cover ready to spray it black.



Will update as and when the engine comes out, Think im removing it on sunday.

Thanks, Joe
