OK you wanted Photo's, this is what I been on with, (be warned that there are some epic gaps in proceedings )
I had a 75k block sat in my garage for over a year and my HG issues has kind of rushed me into building it up, so
Piston as it was removed from the block............... hock:
Piston cleaned up and attached to HDi rod -
And for anyone who cares, an XUD and a DW10 rod side by side-
Head mating face and head all cleaned up with painted rocker cover.....
Shiny pistons-
Block all painted up with properly dirty bores
Tidy up of wheels.......(still ongoing hence the random selection on the car currently)
Clean and shiny sump before re-fitting-
Bores honed out, pistons re-fitted and mating face cleaned up -
Built up with head back on block
Proof of the HG issues
and then engine change time over this weekend............
I thought I should maybe take some pics............after I had removed most of the front end............fail
and then the progress........small gap here from the last pic..........
Then Carl came over and stole my sump from my old engine..........in the middle of the garage...........leaving a huge puddle of oil and an engine to move on my own with no sump :roll: thanks
and then the next pics I took............notice another small gap here.............
so umm yeah. there is a FMIC install and some engine installation went on somewhere in there but I kinds forgot to photograph it
Now stop asking for pics!
