AB's new GQ is finally here

Boss has gone to WA so I snuck out and purchased some more bits for the build.

I also realised the power steering brackets are different so my GQ bracket won't fit.

Little surprises are cropping up but no biggy.

So far the differences that effect my bolt ons are...

Vac pump
Power steering bracket
Flywheel
Some ports on the block not needed
Dipstick length
Haven't checked alternator mounts yet but should be ok.
Clutch to flywheel fits thank god! I heard some only have 2 holes for the 4 x locators on flywheel but all good for me.
Oil feed for turbo
Oil drain might need adjusting

So far these are fine and should all be bolted up on the weekend...

Engine mounts
Inlet manifold
Exhaust manifold
Water pump
oil cooler
Rocker cover
Alternator and mounts I hope
Air Con
Pulleys
Injector pump, surely the fuel lines would be the same?
Glow plugs,
Injectors, glow rail, etc
Sandwich plate
Need to get the old spigot bush out, haven't got a puller so going to try the old grease and clutch tool trick!
Can't think of anything else?

Bit of a list for myself
Need Power steering bracket
Need tacho sensor spacer
Need injector number 3 fixed and all new washers for them
Vac pump cover plate
New oil, coolant, etc.

More importantly Andy, when's the piss up? Ohhh I mean the pizza night...lol

Just so time poor during the week mate.

The pizza up is more important than the build, should've known that!

Yeah just chuck that 2F in the bloody thing and let's partay . . [emoji6]

Everything is prept ready for all the bolt ons tomorrow!

Have spent all week collecting everything I need and cleaning up bolt ons from my old engine except for a few custom things I need to make but let the fun begin!

Yeah it's been on my mind Plassy. From what I understand a like for like engine just needs to be taken into the pits purely for someone to visually check out the engine number.

I had to do that when they stuffed up my engine numbers and he did was check my number, nothing else.

Now....is a td42ti 04 model a like for like engine?
