Little progress from a lot of hard work!!
each little job, takes ages...it wouldnt if just a xud9 build...but each bit takes a little customization to get right.
so I knew the injector lines would need tweaking to fit....so I polished them up expected just minor adjustments...hell no...each one was way out...ended up using two bosch lines and two lucas, and all needed 'rerouting'!!
same went for the aux tensioner....bargain at £15 posted new from Poland....but needed grinding a couple places to fit around the xud11 sump/covers...
exhaust mani is now on, and 4 new bolts, reduced in size slightly, for the engine mount, as its a xud9 mount.
got two problems now...
the muppets who ripped the engine out of the 406 were way too trigger happy with the grinder...
its about 75% of the way through...not sure what to do yet...any ideas welcome.
and also this:
note the 2.1 pump cradle has no bolt holes for the top alternator bracket. fail.
hoping Ozone will get me some piccys of his to see what was done there...
Ozone, can you get piccys of where the coolant pipes run to aswell, as they pop out in different places on the 2.1
