hey man thanks!

It really isn't as daunting as it seems, there's only one place for everything so it ain't too bad :) (i'd say you can't go wrong but i guess you can :P)

Cleaned the bay and polished it, cleaned up the rust and hammerited it. not a show room finish by any means but practical.

The engine was dipped in acid and had both top and bottom skimmed.  Fitted an extra thick head gasket and heavy duty bearings.  There is nothing performance wise done, no upgrades as such - I have fitted uprated injector nozzles and panel filter - will be fitting straight thru exhaust, fmic and having it remapped.

I think all in all, with the engine dips/facing and new clutch (G60 flywheel + clutch yea baby ;) ) glow plugs, gaskets, rings, bearings, oil, antifreeze, filters etc etc, it's cost me about £400 - but i've got an engine with basically 0 miles on it :) - well, 140 but who's counting :p

That's really good man, well done, and great price for a new engine too, I wish I had the knowledge and know how I'd rebuild my engine seeing as it's broke. lol!

Still running it in at the moment but it's sweet :)

Very sharp and responsive, pulls very well and doesn't smoke much if any! (that's with the uprated injectors :) )
