Blue_Joe 0 Posted September 26, 2005 timg60 Used a hairdryer to remove them and then cleaned the glue off with white spirit. Shaggsy Thanks Fella Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blue_Joe 0 Posted September 26, 2005 Well the work has begun. Engine is out and this weekend me and stevemac have been cleaning and painting all of the engine brackets and ancillaries. Have removed the majority of the old wiring loom wrap as it was coated in oil and dirt and was coming away looking a right mess. Then I have rewrapped the loom with Self Amalgamating tape and now looks supurb. Race Power are working on the engine. Darren has the Charger checking it over. Heres some pics so far. Ps. Next time you drain the coolant, check the 2 metal pipes that form some of the water system One is thin and runs to the heater matrix the other is fat and runs under the front of the engine bay by the power steering rack. Mine had alot of rust and build up inside, which can't be doing the water system many favours!!!! I'll post pics of them later. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted September 26, 2005 You're not doing a Henny and doing an engine swap in a car park are you??? Also - stick some rubber gloves over the driveshaft ends to stop grit getting in... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blue_Joe 0 Posted September 26, 2005 We are possibly doing a Henny and actually installing it in the Private Car Park outside my Apartment. Depends on the availability of my mates garage and 2 post car lift. I hope it is as can then use Air Tools....... Air Tools are good!!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted September 26, 2005 You're nuts mate :D What does it say on the notice in your windscreen? :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blue_Joe 0 Posted September 26, 2005 It was a piss take as they keep clamping residents cars "if they don't have a note in the window and not in your allocated space then it will be clamped!" (Bearing in mind I have 2 cars so one has to stay in the general parking. So as a pisstake I originally put a not in the window from a roll of paper and made one the size of the window, but then felt I ought to tone it down a touch and made it just over A3 saying 'RESIDENTS CAR - DO NOT CLAMP!!!!

Henny 0 Posted September 26, 2005 It's not "doing a Henny" unless it's in a PUBLIC carpark in a space marked "Keep Clear"! :lol: Sam, be careful with the self amalgamating tape, it looks great for a month or so, but as soon as it gets hot and touches something, it'll stick to it making one hell of a mess... I did that with J-DUB and regretted it... :| There's a kit-car website which sells proper looming tape which DOESN'T melt (and isn't flammable!) which I'll dig out a link to and send on to you... ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
