I thought it was a 3.0 fly wheel you needed

I had stress this afternoon when I removed the gearbox, pressure plate & dual mass flywheel from Maul. Because I offered the Flywheel against the engine I am fitting and again the flywheel would not fit

So I had my ruler out measuring the different engines I have etc... So I phoned "The Master" and whilst on the phone, he must of sent some extra Force down the lines because I spotted the problem
Now when I show you the picture you will no doubt wonder how I missed it but seriously it looked part of the Crank....


The thickness of the plate obviously would not allow the flywheel to sit on......

This is how it looked on the engine


Anyway once that was sorted the Spiggot bearing was fitted, then on with the gearbox, the harness all connected up, inlet fitted with a minor change..... so when I have a spare few hours the Complete engine and gearbox will be lowered into Obi-wan

Me too Steve, may even give yours a run for its money

Had a couple of hours spare today so managed to fit the engine and gearbox into Obi

Fitted the propshaft etc, water pipes, coolant reservoir, clutch pipe.

Should have a few hours on saturday to fit most of the other stuff may even get to start it up

Nice work Daz .

Had another couple of hours on Obi today...

Fitted the CATs and noticed one of the O2 sensors are missing so need to get a new one on Monday. I then fitted the Jetex stainless steel exhaust I think it looks far better on this car as it doesn't stick out as far as it did on the Mini facelift



Got all the water hoses in place, fitted mostly everything really, need to fit scuttle, wipers, anti freeze plus water, bleed the clutch, fit an O2 sensor. Also going to fit new discs and pads all around then should be ready to Rock "n" Roll
