loo-knee, what a stupid idea!
i cant beleive you would risk gettin a job done correctly and to a good quality to see if you can beat mark. ;)

No worry there, I always inspect his work to make sure its right!
Thing is I have done 50+ of these belts now and know all the pit falls!

Average time is about 2 hours with lots of checks.....quite happy doing them in an evening after work now.
-
I reckon 1hour 50 mins ;) ;D

1 hour 36 mins is my record.......
The fastest I have ever put one back together was on jamies.....
-
My fastest time is 1hr 34 mins 48 seconds beat that then ;D

Its my age - it takes a long time to bend down without breaking wind.
Plus I didn't have a rather clue what order it all went back together ;D
All joking aside, it was indeed very impressive :y

An hour and a half is a fairly repectable time. I could do a belt in that.....
It just always seems to take me another 5 hours to get the water pump changed and the block flushed out ;D

what's the quickest time an engine swap has been done in......
swapping ancills once the old lump is out.
No complications such as LPG ect.

I once changed the clutch plate on a comp Imp on the hard shoulder of the M45. Just got it running when a Police m/c turned up to see if I needed assistance....dont think he would have been too chuffed if he knew what I had done. ;D

Mark DTM is well known for his quick cambelt replacements and I think Loo-Knee thinks he's quicker. ::)

I've had one out on a stand within 45 minutes of arriving home with the engine hoist.
Oh, did I mention that it wasn't a V6 nor an Omega?.. :-X
I think wisdom we gained during the tractor episode is that it's probably a good idea to mount the gearbox to the engine first and put the two in together rather than try to offer the engine up to the gearbox. ::) This would be even more prudent with a V6 where access will be more restricted than on the tractor.

seriously???
seems a lot of hassle, is it really that much easier?

It was bad enough with the slant 6 tractor engine and that gave good access to the bellhousing right round one side. I would take the gearbox out, get it all mounted to the engine and put the 2 in together. Front of the car will need to be up on ramps at a guess, but I'm sure we wouldn't have had anything like the hassle if we'd done that.
You could probably mount the exhaust manifolds and starter, etc. on the engine first as well, meaning a few less fiddly ancillaries to put on later, whereas if you were trying to line it up with the gearbox you'd want all that off the engine.
Less chance of mullering the torque converter or seal too.

Its easier to pop the donk out of a V6....its half the length so much more rome to shift it.
It is easier with the box on.

True. I'd forgotten it is 2.5 cylinders shorter.

It took 6 if us several hours to fit engine with gearbox in car. A week weeks later, it took LFF64 and I about 90 mins with geaarbox attached outside of car.
