Quickly fit the silicone hoses after work, apart from the breather that goes to bottom of sfi but jll do that on Sunday.
Need to cut down the big hose from coolant tank to engine cause I don't have the right coolant pipe on the engine so have a slight kink in it

If it's an original plastic water pipe behind the head it's well worth replacing. Tx for a steel one.

Yeah just had a look tx have them for ?28. Just a pisser cause I wanted to start it up this Sunday and run it upto temp, so be a waste putting brand new coolant in for me to have to drain it again ffs

Suppose I could just use water for now though, it's only to check and make sure there's no leaks and everything works fine when it gets to temp

Yep, or just drain it and reuse. Definitely worth ?28.
Well that came quick.
Get that fit tomorrow before I start her up

Great work as always. I was eyeing this metal coolant pipe on Ebay earlier.
Got the stainless tube on, filled it up with coolant and had some leaks
Inlet manifold had part of the old gasket on near the water jacket so wasn't sealing properly......DOH
Also the rubber seal on the thermostat wasn't seated properly......double DOH
Sorted them out fille did up again and success.....verrrry niiiice
So started her and let her get upto temp, the noise of the lifters went completely which I'm happy about, the temp gauge worked, the fan kicks in, so all in all I'm happy.
Just 1 slight things, my idle hunts a bit and when I rev it the revs come down slowly......any ideas?
Here's a link to video on FB.

Try cleaning out the icv with some cleaner and wd40 it after. Also check the throttle body for build up!
