So, on Saturday I got the rest of the engine components off and all the bolts bagged up and ready for posting today
I also checked the oil feed in the sump, cleaned all the crap out of it and refitted it.
Whilst stripping everything down I noticed there was a hairline crack in my exhaust manifold :/ Luckily I found a second hand stainless 4-2-1 selling on EBay, and I'm glad to say that at 3am this morning I won it
I also bought some heat wrap so I can do away with the heat shield, I bought enough to wrap the whole system so as I replace the sections with stainless, decat etc I will remove any heat shields and wrap those parts to! May not be for a while though, I have already spent twice as much as I wanted to lol!
Progress pics!
New Cam Belt and Tensioner fitted.
Genuine of course
How it presently stands.
I am going to delete the carbon canister and pump and relocate the powersteering bottle as well.
My mission today is to get the exhaust manifold off, wish me luck lol!
