Its all back together.

Cant be started until the pair of lambda sensor blanking plugs arrive.

Managed to get the cambelt and plenum fitted today and the oil changed.

Engine under tray cleaned and fitted

Filled with fresh oil and coolant and ready to fire.

Drileld the holes in the front pipes and welded in the new lambda sensor bosses to re-locate the O2 sensors behind the cats.

So, as soon as the blanking plugs arrive, they can be fittted and it will get started and left for a good 20 minutes at idle as the followers will knock like hell until fully filled with oil again.

I will solder in some longer bits of wire for the 02 sensors as although they do reach, its a little tight and to close to the prop shaft damper for my liking!

Shame about the plates - it may have saved you from the misery of a 'loan' car.  I'm sure Mr Dundee wouldn't notice the 500m per week you'll put on it ;D

And posession is 9/10ths of the law ;D

Lol, it should go well to!

Reacon we have a 3.0 beater here particularly as the 2.5/2.6 has a lower ratio diff!

So, to summarise, its had

Headgaskets
Valve stem seals
Manifold gaskets
3.0 cams
Stage 1 port
3.0 lower manifold
Re-furbed alternator (new bearings etc)
New crank seal
New water pump
Re-sealed oil cooler plate
Re-sealed thermostat housing
Full de-grease
Flushed followers
Fresh oil
New oil filter
Fresh antifreeze
All parts fully cleaned and de-greased
Replacement engine under tray (missing and this helps cooling)
Re-located post cat lambda sensors.

All for about 250 quid.

Fear not, I am having the facelift!  :y

Yep, the O2 bungs should have been here last week but have not yet turned up.

Looked at my broken one quickly, the engine and box have jumped forwad an inch (secering the mounts) and hence the prop has slipped forward on its splines and is banging against the tunnel

can you not rob the sensors from your broken one to fill the holes on Mikes?

Ok, picture of the engine bay



The Lambda sensor mounted in its new home!



The front section showing the engine under tray fitted



And no spare bits (that I can find!)

So there you go Mick, you can sleep easier now!
