General Car Chat / finally getting around to do an engine swap
« on: 26 October 2015, 13:33:04 »
At long last after buying a 2.5 tourer ( MFL?) with the intention of putting engine into my dead CDX, i have now retired the old bus.
silencers and cats off - (cats are better than the other pair)
then gearbox ( manual out)
then remove engine ( after removing aircon stuff etc. out of the way )
change oil cooler and anything else I feel like when have got easy access
then remove dead engine , fit 'new' engine
swap several bits from one to the other, sell off bits people might want , scrap old bus.
hopefully shouldn't take too long ( 4 years so far , but it kept passing MOT, and its cold in the rain)
