well i had a bit of a pants weekend working on the engine, started like this

Dave learning english....





then deciding he needed a bit of a chalenge by droping a head locating dowel into the oil gallery down into the sump.





me being unusualy patient yesterday, i managed to get the dowel out without taking the sump off




hopefull engine will go in this sunday, fingers crossed for the weather being better (like today would be nice!)

[GavStyli]

and i had something made up from the remains of my old engine which ill be giving to dave!

[dangerousdave]

[Dave G fsi]

Awesome trophy!

[jayrs]

[knuckles]

i dont like the trophy. Its not an achievement dave

im never paying for a hair cut ever again tell ya that for nothing

[GavStyli]

you misserable git dave , only YOU wouldnt like the trophy

and i dont expect you to pay for another haircut ever again, thought you already new that btw your having a skinhead next time

[Smo]

Trophy is awesome.

I think you should drop some old man's hair trimmings in his ear though and give him that same Heath Robinson tool to get it out with

wednesday after learning how to use the mickey mouse torque wrench, i torqued down the head and set up the timing of the engine. Fitted new inlet manifold and exhaust manifold studs to the studs which were missing. Fitted new oil filter.
Set cylinder No 1 to TDC... then turned the cam till cylinder 1 & 4 valves were shut and 2 & 3 valves were open.




while i was teaching gav all about how a engine works he came up with a genius idea of labelling the head bolts tightnening sequence.
Made it alot easier





it was a team effort in the end

[Smo]

Awww

[jayrs]

fudgekin hell aint you dont that yet

[knuckles]

engine went in today.

this is the 2nd and last time i ever work on a fiesta with abs
total nightmare ... had to disconnect all the brake pipes from the reservoir and master cylinder to the abs pumps either side of the gearbox.
We took off both arm carriers and left the drive shafts in the gearbox to avoid taking off the bloody belts.



All bolted back in



one of todays helpers ghost



Gav being camera shy
