Existing engine out , heads off , second hand bottom end put in with new head gaskets . All the buckets where mixed up so sorted that , all the cam carriers where also mixed up even though each one tells you on them where they go . Clean sump up and removed alot of silicone from every part removed . Clean every thing twice in the parts washer .Refit cam belt , inlet manifold , go back to standard headers and up pipe . Put the engine back in . Fit apexi air filter & last make a bracket to mount new fuel reg .

Nice one, glad it got sorted.
So when do you get the pleasure of taking the ****e bit's and and dumping it on the drive of last owner ?
Let's hope that's the last of the corners he cut.........

Sounds like the guy that built mine last time I had mixed up valve shims odd pistons bolts missing reused stretch bolts cheap head gaskets that let go after 10,000mls broken oil temp switch wheel centre missing front camber 20mm out and the list goes on and on.... Oh and the clutch was replaced with one that didn't fit and slipped all the time. If I ever see him again I will BREAK his neck.
