Progress on the MV6 Head Gaskets
« on: 12 June 2009, 22:41:04 »

* Heads finished - Dis etc refitted to 2-4-6

* Cylinder block all cleaned up

* 1-3-5 gasket (Elring) and head fitted, and torqued down. Autovaux bolts actually seemed OK, torqued up no issues.

* Rear coolant transfer pipe re-fitted, with a bit of grey goo around the O ring.

* 2-4-6 gasket and head fitted and torques - again, no issues.

* Thermostat and front link pipe fitted, incl B-Bolt.

* Lifters (yes, AndyB, all 24  :P) and camshafts + cam oil seals fitted, shells all torqued evenly etc..

* Cam pulleys aligned, fitted, and torqued.

* Cams locked in correct position.

* Rear timing belt cover fitted

* Waterpump fitted

* Crank brought to TDC, and timing belt kit fitted. The cambelt kit almost fell on the car - got it right straight away.

* Outer cambelt cover fitted

* Pulleys fitted for PAS, Crankshaft, water pump - and aux belt tensioner and pulley fitted.

* Few other hoses, ancils, and some general engine bay tidying up/routing.

Thought that was enough for one day, seeing as my face is still hurting from mumps  ;D

Decided to leave oil cooler for now. It's not broken, and not leaking - in the rare event it fails I can change it later - not a hard job at all.

Pics:

Exhaust manifold fitted, with genuine VX multilayer metal gasket, and new studs and nuts:
