I decided to do my lifters and change the colour scheme of the engine bay as the gold was making my eyes water
One thing led to another and basically the engine is in bits
I am hoping to get the car done for April
Here’s how she looked under the bonnet
![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/rsnissan/3%20dr/IMG_0120.jpg)
Once i got the tanks off i could see that the bay was quite messy and covered in bits of oil and crud.

![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/rsnissan/3%20door%20winter%20engine%20tidy/IMG_1592Medium.jpg)
Sooooooooooo I thought I’ll just remove this and that and a few other bits to make it easier to clean
![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/rsnissan/3%20door%20winter%20engine%20tidy/IMG_1716Medium.jpg)
Then the inevitable happened
![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/rsnissan/3%20door%20winter%20engine%20tidy/IMG_1773Medium.jpg)
![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/rsnissan/3%20door%20winter%20engine%20tidy/DSCF0139Medium.jpg)
While the engine is out i am going to renew a few seals and hoses

![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/rsnissan/3%20door%20winter%20engine%20tidy/IMG_1796Medium.jpg)
Thought I’d cheer myself up and get some bits for when she goes back together
Custom stainless PAS cooler (cheers Lee @Fusion
) got a stainless bottom water pipe as well and stainless boost pipe but forgot to take pics

Cleaned the block and head
![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/rsnissan/3%20door%20winter%20engine%20tidy/IMG_1827Medium.jpg)
![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/rsnissan/3%20door%20winter%20engine%20tidy/IMG_1828Medium.jpg)
Then a coat of paint or 2

![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/rsnissan/3%20door%20winter%20engine%20tidy/IMG_1831Medium.jpg)
dusted the head with some high temp silver but it looks a little white in the photos
Then attacked the manky engine bay with some degreaser and wax.......

![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/rsnissan/3%20door%20winter%20engine%20tidy/DSCF0204Medium.jpg)
Quite chuffed with the engine bay no rust to speak of just a few bolts/washers to replace and a few spots under the brackets/bolts where the paint has gone down to the primer. I was going to paint the bay but it can stay as is unill i get the whole car painted at a later date.

Well i have not done much since last time as i am waiting for some bits to be powdercoated before i refit them to the engine. But i have started fitting the bits i could sump cams etc
![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/rsnissan/3%20door%20winter%20engine%20tidy/IMG_1889Medium.jpg)
Then i got round to sorting my manky loom out and attacking it with a soildering iron
![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/rsnissan/3%20door%20winter%20engine%20tidy/IMG_1899Medium.jpg)
didn't turn out too bad hope the bloody thing starts now though
![Big Grin](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)
and just a random pic to remind me what an engine looks like with a cam cover as its been so long since its been together
![](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/rsnissan/3%20door%20winter%20engine%20tidy/IMG_1891Medium.jpg)
Not long now though
