AB's now two steps closer with @rusty_nails help today!
Positive outcome, 6 sets of chopsticks were salvaged from the old donk, time to clock off, grubs up :-)

Went to pirtek today and got my existing water and oil feed lines modified to suit new block.
Longer oil feed for alternator too.
Turbo is now complete!
Much better to finally feed oil to turbo on the same side of block now!

What's next Andy?
Getting close mate...Quote:

Good luck with it all.
Special thanks to Bennyboy!!!
He's loaning me a vac pump so I can get going until I can find a second hand one.
They are ridiculous $$$ to buy brand new so at least I can get going until I find one.
Onya benny! Nice one AB you certainly shouldnt have any vac issues now with 2 pumps
You are progressing well, happy days!
Reckon u'll still be on track to drop the thing in on the weekend ?
Definitely at this rate...Quote:

Awesome stuff AB, looking forward to seeing a clip of its first start up this weekend!
It's been way too long mate, I can't wait to start it up and go for a drive with fingers firmly crossed...lolQuote:

Might have to invest or borrow a puller.
Yeah dunno how you'd get that out.

There's a few different ways but I was trying to force it out with grease and pressure but my fitting wasn't the best.Quote:

Disaster! Austpost have stuffed us around and the vac pump from Benny is still in transit!
No! Aus Post would never do that! Has the tracking number been checked in here in Melbourne at the sorting facility?Quote:

I think thats it...
Does anyone know the difficulty of putting the vac pump on whilst engine is in?
Should I just get this engine in so I can spend the weekend hooking everything up and then just put the vac pump on when it turns up?
It sits below the injector pump so I'm guessing access from underneath would be best?
Nightmare job or doable???
