djiceman 131 Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 So here's everything that we/Matt got done today....Engine out:Gearbox off:Started strip down and draining oil:Ready for cams and chains to come out:Schimmel 263 cams and new chains on:The only thing I haven't done is taken a photo of the engine all put back together... Tomorrows task is putting it back in the car but unfortunately while we were putting everything back on the engine, the crack pipe decided it wanted to die, so I've just ordered a new one but won't be ready to start the car until next week Bealieboy 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Bealieboy 1,625 Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Yeah, Defo not the best day for pottering on the car! Link to post Share on other sites
mk3_matt 21 Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Yeah was freezing. But was so enjoyable to work on this engine. Was a first for doing cams and chains but was so well I wouldn't say easy but was fun changing the chains. Can't wait to get it all back in the car now. djiceman, Bealieboy and daveyboy 3 Link to post Share on other sites
djiceman 131 Posted January 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 So today's exploits went as follows....First point of call, exhaust manifold... Now I wrapped it in heat wrap, I'll never do it again, pain in the backside, also had to split a weld so it would fit:New silicone hoses going on:Coilpack and leads back on:Other bits and bobs added:The one away special "coffee cup" mod:Sachs clutch going in:Gearbox on:Theeeeeeen, engine in place:Then about 2-3hrs of faffing about (because Matt and I were a bit eager to get it started), it finally started (no exhaust connected):https://vimeo.com/117112536Then we connected pretty much everything back up and started it again:https://vimeo.com/117112640So all in all, a very productive day! Only the crack pipe to be put on (which is on order) and then it'll be ready to go and be mapped!!!I can't thank Matt enough really, it's been awesome putting this together!! daveyboy and bennyk 2 Link to post Share on other sites
