Spent the 3rd evening in a row (last night) getting the engine in.
All went well, took a while to realise some of the gearbox studs had been left in the new block from the previous owner and didn't realise they were hitting the ones in the gearbox which prevented it going in. Oppsie!
Besides that no major issues.
Filled it with oil and it started after a bit of confusion with the fuel lines.
Sounded a bit knocky from the head but after a few minutes of idling it went away so guess it was just oil working it's way up to the head/tappets.
Oil line on the stick is well past full so last few jobs are too:
1) Drop some oil out as currently over filled - DONE
2) Fit new gearbox mount - DONE
3) Fit new rear drivers side caliper - DONE
4) Bleed brakes / clutch - DONE
5) Fit bumper - DONE
6) Fit new genuine nissan driveshaft nuts/bolts
1) Engine going back in.
2) Plumbing it all in.
3) First run.
4) Front end finished minus the bumper.
