Philuk 0 Posted April 9, 2015 Got my throttle body vapor blasted and cleaned. Same with the carbon filter bracket and aux water pump bracket. Here are some before and after pics! Had the bushes pressed into the subframe so engine back in this weekend! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philuk 0 Posted April 19, 2015 Engine is back in!!!!! Woooooooop woop! Got the engine off the hoist and flywheel, clutch and coverplate fitted. Lined it all up using a suitable sized socket! Fitted gearbox back on and then adjusting my hoisting points! With many nerves and the bay protected we lifted it in! All went it quite smoothly and it's now in location!

VAG-hag 0 Posted April 25, 2015 Washed my bottles out :D haha! Anyone know where I can get some of the black cable ties that go in the engine bay with the tab on to attach to the bulkhead On the same shelf as pixy dust, rocking horse cack and unicorn steaks unfortunately mate. Best bet is find someone breaking who has kept them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sankysvr6 0 Posted April 25, 2015 You do know the standard cable ties, can be opened quite easily or just pull them off. I didn't realise on the first one I did, so joint the pieces back together with another black cable tie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
