Right, seeing as the suns out and the front garden is in stupid amounts of sunnage... I decided to go remount my Oil Cooler as I'll be having a custom radiator and where it was, its going to be in the way. Just made a tempary bracket and now I like where its sat, I'm going to remake it better, and out of thicker, nicer aluminium

With the bonnet shut, the vent flows right onto it, so cooling shouldn't be an issue, plus a few Pulsars have them there, So I'm confident it'll be fine

Cheers all!

Ben, Yeah I had no worries, temps were probably a bit to cold anyhow where it was, and like I said, blocking the rad!

Need someone to make my brackets up properly....

Right, Nice day again, not to hot so I thought I'd go outside and finish up....

Had to reroute some water pipework, so got some copper tubing, a tube cutting and got it sorted,



Inlet, Fuel rail, Injectors, and all the shitty vac lines behind the inlet now on fully







But I have a bit of a problem I missed 2 connectors and a earthing cable , So there now sat behind the inet, Loose.....

I've gotta find out where they go, and hopefully won't have to take inlet back off as its a cunt of a job LOL

These two bastards



and this black rubbery thing..



Trial fitted boost pipe back on, and took a pic, Getting there





and now how it stands, All connectors bar them two all done, Inlet on, everything checked, just gotta do fluids, and make an airbox






Well can't wait to start it back up!!!

Engine is DONE

Couldn't be arsed to do much today but as I kept on it, I kept getting into it more and only just come in!

relocated the oil breather, managed to get the connector on the starter motor (easier than I thought!) and put everything in place, All thats left is fit the front section of the exhaust, bleed water, do the oils and I think thats it Oh and find me extension for my ratchet ()


Pics...
