Small update

now that the sumps all finished I fitted it back on with lots of oil resistant sealent as every XE/LET I've ever had has always leaked Cry

This one won't though i'm sure of it :dunno:

also double checked that the new baffle doesn't interfear with anything by having a good look through the oil level sensor hole, all was sweet so sealed that up with the blanking plate.

Also painted the flywheel end of the block, don't know why really it just looked shit not, so couldn't resist Nod

trial fitted the new inlet manifold as well

Bit of shopping over Xmas

eccentric top mounts

and a nice polished dip stick/breather tube

wanna be getting the engine out in the next few weeks so I can get it all fitted up and the new exhaust manifold made before I splash out on management, also note to self order diff and bearings

Update time bought this at the weekend got it for a bargin £450 comes with a map on it already which will be useable to work off, came with a loom with omex plugs which was made for a nova turbo so shouldn't be to hard to get to fit mine

also ordered the mapping kit which should be here in a few days so I'll be able to have a better look at the map

made a start on my collector for the exhaust manifold haven't got a donkey or band saw so is a bit of a pain so will have to use grinder or plasma to cut them out here's my 5 minute mock up

also bought my cheapest mod to date off Don bargin at £2 for 4 Thumbs Up

Yes Rich you do need to get your arse in gear and stop face stroking your missus PMSL

another update I've been a busy boy today got my tie bars done, ground the shoulder down by 15mm

then the OCD kicked in so I had to strip them back

then a fresh coat of smooth hamerite to finish them off, these are now ready to swap with the ones on the car now when I take the engine out in the next couple of weeks

I just used a bench grinder and kept rotating it then cleaned it up with a file Thumbs Up

yeah looks like you owe me a crate of strongy then for the sump PMSL

if you take your tie bars off I'll do them for you as well Thumbs Up

to be honest I don't really have an end time now as I can't buy my diff until I get paid next so will probably take my time and get it all spot on but thanks for the offer mate Nod

if you do take your sump off just make sure you seal the bottom off with a plastic sheet and tape it all up to stop the water getting in!
