Head on and torqued up. Stuck a bit of oil down the spark plug holes into the bores, to hopefully stop them rusting. Engine will be sitting for a while yet.

Exhaust manifold test fit, i wanted to see how far it "stuck out" past the sump, as i dont know how best to join it to my exhaust system yet.
Its not a std manifold i dont think, looks like a SBD type A

Manifold will be heat wrapped black before fitting it properly. :cool:
Just waiting for cambelt kit, and waterpump to arrive, then i can get the cams etc back in
Cam cover and cambelt cover will probably be going red or blue.
Also got a flat fly off Lee H, but no clutch. And have been properly f**ked about by people selling "Flat fly 20xe clutch kits", which arrive and there for a pot fly :mad: (i have 3 pot fly kits now)
So im tempted f**k swapping the fly and just leaving it as is with a new clutch.
Dude i can get clutches quite cheap...
Did ya eat ya sweets? lol Engines look good!
Oh yes,those haribo were tasty :cool:
Much we talking for a early 20xe clutch?? pm me if you want
nice work...
how you need another manfold, if you got that one?
Was wanting it just as a spare mate, and for the lambda. I think John said he had a lambda i could have though so may give him a pm.
Have you been round get that manifold from your parents/garage? If so i'll come collect it as planned save you having to piss about taking it back etc. :)
been collected, but was gonna go back anyway, only wasn't at my garage, due to having to empty it all, while it had a new roof on..
if you dont need it anymore, no worries, give's me a spare lamba then lol
Ok mate, fair do's.
Cheers for the offer anyway, appreciated :)
looking good Ad, altho a bit disgruntled to hear that the engine will be sat for a while :(
was hoping you to be joining me at Cadwell in October, or at least Donington in November!
