Todays work (25 November) was getting the new lump ready so I could just dump it in and connect it all up with out messing about under the bonnet too much.
Thermostat housing cleaned and back on.

Inlet manifold. Injector rail, and throttle body cleaned and back on.

Another view.

General Pic

Time to get this side of the engine ready.

Gearbox adaptor plate cleaned and back on. Trust me being a Rover it took ages to clean.

Had to get engine in the air to get fly wheel back on. Once this was done I could lock the engine down. And not that I don’t trust rover I could check the timing. And also torque of some important items.

Fly wheel on

Clutch on

Another general pick.


That’s it for now!
