tidying up the taxi............again

looks good mate propa!!!!! like rocker cover!!!!!

carl

nice work so what paint u using as won't just bubbles off whenyour turbo gets hot

I use heat resisting paint, but it only resists till 650 degrees )-;
So when my engine's together in a few months, it'll probably melt off. :eek:

Cold side of the turbo doesn't get hot mate :top:

Don't paint the exhaust side tho cos u'll gas yourself with the smoke :DD: :DD:

Looking good Rich :top:

Maybe a stupid question, but why do people expand their sump with "big wings".
I understand it's to enlarge the capacity, but why?

Keeps oil cooler m8 for prolonged thrashing and with it being properly baffled theres always oil where u need it when its getting chucked about in corners ;)

Okay sounds clear, the more space to spread the oil in, the cooler it can get.
I'll remember that :top:

looking good mate :top: :cool:

Twice the oil , so only goes through the engine to be heated half as often.
Sump now holds 7 liters :eek:

:top:

hi m8,i seen the pics on spillers,looking very gd m8 :banana:

cheeRS Daz :content:

Not bad rich (pervert) lol ..

Also the thing that made it all go together better was the biscuts you got :blabla: :blabla: :blabla:

nice like the colours makes a change from chrome :top:

Looking good m8, 7 liters is quite a lot indeed :top:

Maybe a stupid question but I think you know the answer,
my engine is now completely unmounted into bits, last week I had a part which I thought was the waterpump, today I got my new waterpump but it didn't look the same :D

It looks a bit like a waterpump and has a pulley too, could this be the powersteering pump?

water pump is above pullers in pic below

power steering pump is driven by 1 v belt on the nearside of engine bay

Thanks m8, what I thought was the waterpump seems to be the power steering pump ;-)
At least I have a new waterpump now, it's start :DD:

Looks great!! once the rear of mine is sorted i will start on the engine bay :cry:

Looking good Rich :top: :top: :top:
