Yeh and you can torque them down better as they dont feel as though theyre going to snap.Quote:

Hmm not sure about that, I really want to avoid tacky underseal for the reason that it's annoying to work near! Plan is to apply some 3M stonechip with a brush to get a textured effect, and I've ordered some Glacier White 2pack to brush/roller over it. :)
Got the bottom sprocket on and torqued to 250Nm, only managed to angle tighten it another 20 degrees and not the 40 like Haynes says but Jesus is it tight! also got the oil pickup bolted on with 8v sump gasket.

Ooooh look how clean that sump is, think it's been blasted cos it's quite rough:

Bolted on with some new M6x20 bolts:

Think one of the oil pump sump holes was threaded (don't think I did it?!), but not to worry as I can put a nut on the other side :)

On with my Cometic gasket. Quite a tight fit around the dowels but it fitted quite well otherwise:

As per Cometic instructions, make sure the rivets are not on the block face:

And a bit of mincing from the other night, my new storage for all my new nuts and bolts (each tray is a different size and length!)

Glacier White rocker ;)
oh and it's good to see you look after your nuts
Funny, the trays all look the same size :p
Good work though, You just need a decent car to fit it to now.
Dunno about glacier white, was thinking more red, dunno if it'll be too much though. You're welcome to come round and touch my nuts Connor. Very funny AW lol
White same as the car, awesome work dude! Engine looks great.
Looking good dude! i say either White with red plug cover (OEM look) or Red with dark grey/white plug cover..
Fancy rebuilding mine for me lol
