Nice pics.
That cam mount seems spot on, i must get one.
Sorry dude nope, i was/and probably will take it to the location your thinking of, the only reason i took it to the location in the pics is some one's broke the fence at the car park there, so i could get the car near the river. ;)Quote:

Top stuff mate
Took her for a quick spin earlier, i need to buy some exhaust hanger's tomorrow, my two middle section one's have gone walk abouts some ware at some point, i hit the mid section on a bump at 60mph (OK i know it's low but it should not hit the floor) Do want to get either new system or mine re-shaping etc as it's too low ware it used to go round the OEM linkage..
Scott
lovely car dude!!
im lovin it the colour is unreal top work mate
Not much to update, i have a set of sump gaskets to go on (hope to that this weekend)
And i got a set of door seals to stop the leaks, cheers Nova Ian.

Was hoping to get away with leaving the exhaust manifold on, but i don't think i can, dam it..lol
I'll do it over the week after work.

Its much easier with the manifold off. Much, much.
Is your car kept outside scott?
All 3 are mate, i don't have a choice, i still live at home with the olds, and my dads got the garage full of stuff, been trying to get him to agree to making a car port on the side the hose, think he's coming round to the idea.
(were both carpenters so we'll do it)
So...
Looks like i was slightly lucky then i normally would be!
The Exhaust manifold came off with quite relative easy, (and i removed it with the rad on JUST! lol) only had one stud give me some gyp, it moved slightly, so i got some WD40 on it, and on some others just for good measure etc.
So manifold off i then got on and took the sump off, and gave it a clean out, put the bolts in some panel wipe to soak/clean over night, i got to the point to ware i need to remove the pick/baffle plate and it got dark, so pack up for the night, I'll need to read on how to do the rest as i have never done this before! lol
Pics.

Taking this to work tomorrow, as a guy i work with is going to modify it so the system don't hang so low, it's due to the flange not being horizontal etc.
http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/1...f0218small.jpg
See how it's clearly soaked through in oil!
http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/231/dscf0221small.jpg
And now it's off it's blatant it's gone, the other on the top's the same.

Now i take it i have to fully remove the pick up point pipe?
If so I'll need to replace a seal no/yes?
http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/9...f0229small.jpg
Scott
It's just two bolts with an o-ring. No need to replace the o ring if its ok.
Yeah i could feel, and just about see the bolt's as it's almost dark in the pic lol
Cool if it's just and O ring and i can get away with reusing then thats all the better, cheers dude.
I'd never reuse it to be honest, they are pence to replace and if its not right (most will be brittle unless its been fitted recently) you will have a major lack of oil pressure and have to take it all apart again.
why no just buy a bonded gasket for the price and the **** ache it save putting the other on lol
How do you mean mate?
Get the sump baffle with the gaskets already bonded to it. I use it on mine and it makes life sooo much easier. Can't find the part no for it though.
I have found on ebay a rubber gasket that goes over the baffle, or you buy a new baffle with one on it already, there £30

same as this but just go into your local motor factors an buy one for a 2.0 8v lol
Take it the 8v is the same, but just cheaper yeah?
