In discussions mate

Picked up the engine today!!

Going to be a bit of stuffing around to get this to work but all good.

It's a Ti engine so there's a little indentation where the tacho sensor goes so mine is no good.

I need to decide what to with the vac pump hole under the injector pump, I guess I can just make a plate up and block that hole.

Make up a new oil feed line for turbo

Old gaskets from my GQ are fun.

I need to get this new flywheel lightened 1.5-2kg and balanced with the clutch yet again.

Need another spigot bush

Oil drain.

Remove old gaskets from new engine.

Fix 3rd injector that we had issues with on my old engine.


New belts, gaskets, oil cooler kit, etc

New dipstick

Oil and filters

Check clutch alignment holes

Yeah different flywheel mate, larger crank, etc.

Wow man its all happening.

Good luck with the Turbo, as yet don't understand what happened but if it caused the problem....

Also had no idea how different the engines are, bit of a fiddle to make it all connect, fit and line up. You sound like having a challenge in front of you, best of luck.

Anyway it is good to read you are getting somewhere with it all, good luck mate.

Dropped off clutch and flywheel for balancing and lightening at Duggan.

Clutch n wheel off other wouldn't fit or damaged?
Edit:- Sorry, read back a coupla posts. Understand now!

Very time poor during the week but managed to get both 18th century gaskets off and clean the oil cooler and water pump.

Also noticed the dip stick compared to mine is a lot longer with longer min max line then worked out the td42t holds more oil than the silver top.

Recon you'll get all the bits ready for the weekend?

No chance mate. I tried to work out all the bits I need but there's some things I've already missed and things will crop up.

I need to get some bits on to work out what else I need like correct lengths of line for the turbo, etc.

I was hoping to get everything done so we can go somewhere local for Melb cup but it looks like next weekend will be the weekend of getting things on and working out the final bits for final install Melb cup.

I'll see how I go though. Mums back from hospital so I need to spend time with her too.

We'll get there, I don't want to rush either. I can't find torque settings for the pulley on the water pump???

Don't bloody rush it! Get it right, we can trash your place whenever it happens!!
