The days finally here.
Removing engine to fit new ---
Front and rear main seals.
clutch, water pump.
humm was going to fit new turbo also, but new clutch needs time to bed in-
"before power up" might leave that for later I think.
various other jobs on the list.
port exh manifold, injectors , thermostat,
new alternator,old one just dropped voltage 2 days ago.
F@##@k I just broke my good reading glasses,
The harmonic balancer nut measures 55 mm is that correct ??.
my set stops at 50mm, need a new socket I guess.
Doing just about all the work alone, any tips ??????.

Yes 55mm for crank nut.
If doing rear main would be best to do sump gasket as well as it generally gets disturbed when changing the rear main.
Just put the turbo on. Hell of a lot easier with the donk out. The 6x6 should be fine mate. Also if you can I would recommend taking some weight out of the flyhweel. Will make it much smoother.

Thanks,
while its out, was going to remove the sump, make sure no surprises in there, general clean up .
you called it, but I wasn't sure on the clutch and bedding it as the new turbo afr would be out of wack.
drive it easy for a short while, talked me into it , didn't really want to do it later any way.
f/wheel weight,
Smoother don't ya mean,more responsive?.
weight watchers how much do ya recon off ?

Gasket or silicon for the sump ??

Yes more responsive which will make it feel smoother to drive. If you can aim for 1.5-2kg much more than this will require significant machine time. Also get he clutch and flywheel assembly balanced.
I use a gasket with a smear of loctite 515.

Thankyou Bro

Had a few hick ups visitors and what not.
Engines out and on stand ready for attention.
bit busy this week, see what happens!.
Here's some pics of how to go about it with limited room under a car port and still remain able to roll car out of the way etc.
Its so low the engine hoist touches the tie rod bar but just slides under my g/box support bracket.
The box support I made last time I had GQ TB engine out, it'a a straight bolt up for GU also.
Ya don't have to worry about a jack under car.
I made a similar bracket for my GTR except with tabs welded on, then able to bolt up to g/box for real support,then tilt tray car 100k to work shop.
Using the steel wheels also gives more room to move hoist around and allows it in closer & in a retracted position for a larger swl , just that bit safer.
Ya have to have alot done before you lower the car this much but it's worth the effort.
