Finally got me ass in gear and went and got oil, Ive been so reluctant to buy is since it went up to £49.99 but the two months of waiting payed off and when i popped up to grab it it had gone down by a tenner :P

Right muz got a fair bit done not as much as we hoped due to the some stubborn parts

So...

Timing is done and phase disk, sensor and bracket all on as well as the bottom pulley and the new cam belt and tensioner.

Bolted the engine back in place.

It took quite a while to re stud the head but the ex manifold is all done now and has a shiny new ford gasket and stud set on it.

The inlet manifold is just placed on at the moment because it proved a pain in the bum to get hold of the gaskets but i have them now!

Drilled a whole in the bulkhead and the back of the glove box and roughly fitted the looms in place. ( it Will have to be moved around again as i want to show as much of it as i can)

Fuel rail injectors and some of the fuel line are on but will need to come off again for a final fit.

fitted the breather.

I think that was about all we got done.

We still have to mod the rocker and the throttle body.

fit the fuel filter.

change oil filter.

re stud the back of the head and fit the inlet properly.

mount the grs cooler and kenlow

fit the header tank and boost,coolant hoses

wire the anti lag up :P :P

Change the oil and coolant.

Work began
