Yep, arrow on the piston pointing towards the cams, lugs on the conrods pointing towards the flywheel. :)

Trying to stop dirt entering my block so fitted these. Fitted the gasket on the breather but does the sensor have anything?!

Temporarily fitted the waterpump and oil pump:

Slight modification so it clears the early belt cover nicely (you can see on the lug at the top) - also where the hell does the tab on the waterpump go? Can't find anything about it in Haynes!

Bottom end seals - anyone any ideas?
http://iainel.co.uk/images/forums/NovaWIP2/902.JPG
i would say the top left is the crank shaft to oil pump seal all the rest im not sure
oh yeah the engines looking smart mate
Cheers. Yeah I guessed the oil pump seal one, and I imagine the black rubber is for the oil pickup pipe. Dunno about the rest tho!
Left looks like the crank sensor seal?
Next in sump plug seal.
Put the cambelt back plate on before waterpump, theres a notch in it that the waterpump lines up with. Looks about right where it is now
Crank sensor is the one I've fitted on the front of the block?
Pretty sure the belt cover goes on after the pump as it hides one of the bolt heads. Also there's no marks on it to show where the pump sits. It's an early XE backplate if that makes a difference.Quote:

Removed the relief valve from my old pump:

But it doesn't look in that good condition, some scratches on the outside - usable?

The crank sensor has a rubber o-ring on it
Edit-Ignore that, you already know
Engines looking fooking awesome btw!
