    Thanks Josh!

    Lower timing chains are on now and I've put a new metal head gasket and torqued down the head to spec. Not long now I just need to set the timing, bolt on accessories and cover plates and it'll be time to put her back in.





    Cheers,

    Tim

    Noice. Did the gasket going prompt the angry rebuild?

    Thanks guys!

    The gasket wasn't the cause it was one of the pistons cracking, I guess cast pistons and rods can only take a certain amount of load!

    Got the crank pulley and upper timing chains on today as well as setting the timing. I just need to put on the timing chain covers, rocker cover and sump once I give them a clean then I can start bolting accessories and turbo back on.





    Cheers,

    Tim

    Got the timing chain covers, oil sump and the rocker cover bolted on today:



    And my trusty reinforced sump I made before for when it may scrub:



    I also painted the turbo manifold in high temp black to stop it rusting and bolted it on plus connected up the oil return line:



    Next step is accessories and flywheel/clutch.

    I also bought some braided wiring wrap for the engine bay wiring I'll be installing before the engine goes back in to neaten it up.

    Cheers,

    Tim
