Omega General Help / Re: This could be the end for my Omega

I've been busy amassing parts for the rebuild.
It's a slow process as I have no money to spare (who does eh?) but I'm getting there.
So far I have ordered:
Cam timing kit (ordered, paid for, hasnt turned up - ebay dispute pending I think!
)
3.2 Exhaust manifolds (breathe dammit!)
Sump
Sump gasket.
I have started stripping the engine and it's covered in cobwebs.
The cam timing is out - not far so no damage but still...
If you look at the pic you can see that the right bank doesnt line up the same as the left.
The manifolds have also been removed.
The next thing to do will be remove and check the oil cooler.
There is a small amount of dust/debris on top of the valves on the left bank so I'll be giving that a blast with the air line to clear it.
Once I get the sump changed over I'll get some parts removed from the old engine to fit. I have so far left the old engine alone so that I can move the car if needed.
