To Do List

Another day another head. Got the second head on yesterday and torqued it down. It's getting close to where I need the 2.5 to swap bits over.

Today I fitted the blanking plate and hylomared it into place. Torqued it to the same torque as the old plate, but I'm not sure if it's going to be enough. I'll give it a little more tomorrow - neither part is alloy (one mild steel and the other is the cast block), so it'll be fine.


MY TO-DO LIST:

Oil pump on - need to find out if the gasket is the correct one, as there seems to be a hole that in the block that is blanked off with the gasket, and a corresponding one in the pump.
Change Crank Oil Seal - a LOT easier this time as it's on the stand and i don't have to become a contortionist under the car.
Find which in inlet and which is outlet for oil - need this for the oil cooler
Water Bridge In Head - fit

Everything else i need from the other engine:
Sump
Remove heads
Get the inlet cams and put on exhaust of 3 litre
Engine out
swap - alternator, startet, dispack,cam covers, sump, pickup pipe, fit new power steering pump, ancilliary bits too

Fit the lsd that i'm going to part with 480 quid for. That should make things fun.
