Probably could have got away with just the HG's but better safe than sorry.
|
Good to hear that the bug will be healthy again and back on the road soon unless you are doing some more mods to it .
|
Just planning a tidy up when the engine goes back on, would like a turbo swap if the right one comes up?

That's a bugger! It was slightly annoying having to buy 4 inlet manifold gaskets to use with the thermal spacer!
|
|
Yep think the baffle plate and cossie gaskets will do the job very well liking it .
|
It's back! Well at my parents as I couldn't be in all day waiting for the delivery! Should have it in the garage by tomorrow evening then I can start re-assembly!

Nice engine spec list would love to see what that will be pushing once its all plumed in and running .
|
Coming together nicely dude. Look forward to seeing how she goes :)
|
Engine is now fundamentally complete, ready to go in and be fired up!
|
You ever try the stage 4 cc clutch before nick?
|
Wow spec list on that engine going to be a quick car
|
I went straight for the stage 5 purely for stock reasons! The 4 probably would have done and driven better I imagine.
|
Be good to see it back on the road. Looking good mate. :ok:

Finally got it back in - we'd put the engine mounts on the wrong way round so took the whole engine out again - only took and hour to get it all back in once they were swapped over!
Engine needs bolting in fully and then it's the re-plumbing! Quick question on the first start with syvecs is it best to disconnect the crank or cam sensor? http://i356.photobucket.com/albums/o...pscf4bfdcc.jpg |
Will post a pic when it's daylight bit it's all in and ready to go, just the fluids to do tomorrow then turn the key!

hope you as pleased as I was when I got mine going again :ok: |
It's alive! Well it was after I connected the 'other' wire to the starter motor!
Driven it out of the garage and down the private road at the back. Just need to sort insurance and MOT then put around 400 miles in to bed the bearings then it's time to drive it again! |
Good to see its back mate, look forward to seeing it sometime soon :)
|
Just dropped it in for the MOT, fingers crossed!
|
Awesome stuff. Nothing quite like getting a scoob back on the road :)
|
Not feeling 100% confident it'll pass though felt a bit of a misfire as I drove to the MOT (about 500m) thinks it needs a bit more of a run before it'll be happy but here's hoping!
|
Been a while now but have got the car through the MOT even with a massive misfire! Which I now think I've traced to a failed coil pack- well none of the others are this shape!
http://i356.photobucket.com/albums/o...pse944336f.jpg Hopefully Dad's Forester has the same coil packs so we'll use one to check if that's definately the issue before ordering a new one. |
Have some here
|
If dads are not the same I may take you up on that to test of it is definately the coil pack that's gone, I'll probably replace the whole set with new if it's definately failed.
|
Running on 4! Time to try and rack up the miles now!
|
Nice one mate :ok: Be good to see it back on the road :)
