i managed to nick the engine manual for the engine from my old workplace - a bit cheeky, but invaluable! ________________________________________ Deepak Gohil |

i got the new shells! and this time they were the correct size they have quite a nice finish on them too.. i don't know whether anyone can actually see them on this photo though.  the shells went in and i done the big ends up... the crank was turning over nice and smooth.  ________________________________________ Deepak Gohil |

   using an OEM gasket i put the head back on. the bolts were mega tight, really needed a longer breaker bar to help me out, but i just have a 19" one. the tappets were a pain too. i stored them soaked in oil and they have really tight clearances to go into... so getting them in with slippery fingers was a challenge. ________________________________________ Deepak Gohil |

  I usually use GSF for all my service bits. they provide Mann filters, which i personally prefer ahead of anything else - including OEM purflux. i'm using NGK plugs temporarily, but i'll change them to something better once the engine is broken in. i was going to use a dayco kit, but GSF was shut so i got hold of a gates one instead from another supplier - i was too impatient and wanted to get the engine turning asap  ________________________________________ Deepak Gohil |

this is a rig i put together, cos i wanted to put the gearbox on the engine before i finished putting all the ancillaries, manifolds etc back. using the engine stand wouldn't have allowed this. plus now it's just one simple hoist and it'll go back into the car   ________________________________________ Deepak Gohil |

  the flywheel had quite a few overheating marks on it, but i managed to get them out with some coarse emery cloth, leaving the flywheel nice and rough for the bite.   got the clutch from GSF at a bargain price whacked it on with some grease around the release bearing to make sure everything runs smoothly.________________________________________ Deepak Gohil |
