UPDATE:
This week was a big week with the with the project/conversion, the engine is finally in!!
Anyway, on Friday I picked up all my bolts from zinc plating like Ive done with all the engine and gearbox bolts, makes a big difference in the appearance of the engine bay. I also set about that evening re-routing my brake booster line and vapour line. I'm routing the brake booster line around the engine bay using the old AC pipe brackets/clamps to keep it neat and tidy. The vapour line ive made out of some spare braided line and fittings to make it look more in keeping with the engine bay (Im a sucker for for braided lines :lol: )
Saturday I installed some heat shielding to protect the fuel lines and bulkhead from the increased heat of the turbo, it looks however Ill need some more to protect the re-routed brake booster hose. It looks okay, a bit messy in places but im useless with stuff like that, you should see my present wrapping skills :lol:
With that sorted attention went to getting the engine ready, all there was left to do was put on a new aux belt and fit the flywheel/clutch and gearbox. Aux belt was easy to do, 5min job with the right tools. However the clutch was a bit trickier, first thing was the fact there was no clutch aligning tool supplied with the clutch, I had to make an aluminium one out of a bit of scrap bar. With that sorted the flywheel was fitted and torqued to 30Nm + 60 degree's, the clutch was then bolted on using the aligning tool. The clutch plate was torqued down to 30Nm and blue loctite was used. Now the tricky bit, especially when there was only me. The starter motor was bolted to the gearbox and then the box was offered up to the engine, jesus gearboxes are heavy :lol: all bolted up and the engine was ready to go in. Anti seize was used on all the bolts. The loom was also now connected.
Now the even trickier bit, with the hoist I carefully positioned the engine and gearbox in the bay, the exhaust link section was then put through the exhaust tunnel and then bolted to the downpipe flange. After this the engine was wiggled into position and the engine mounts tightened up. The gearbox mount plate will need to be removed in the week to be painted as i forgot to last week and today it was too late to do so.
Anyway the pictures:
Thanks
