Yea a few people said pull the engine out. Can do a bottom end clean too but I thought it was going to more hassle than it's worth. How I wish I listened lol Still, learnt a huge deal doing it this way.

The exhaust flange is one piece So I don't need the head to mock it up thankfully. I'm well behind on it time wise I was hoping to be on the exhaust next week but I haven't even had time to measure it and get a flange cut.

Has taken a long time to get to where I am but atleast it's done properly so I should have a nice and healthy engine. Get a fair few more thousand miles out of it!

Didn't get anywhere near as far as I wanted today but hey ho can't rush these things.

Everything behind the head is bolted on, water pipe and some brackets.

Got the cams in place but not torqued down as I need to figure out where they go

Then it was a bit of a battle trying to get the pulleys right. The inlet was really easy but the exhaust is a bit of a pain and doesn't seem to want to go on so will have to get a second brain on it on monday.

So this is how she stands now.

Pretty happy with the progress it's really starting to take shape. Without the head I was really thinking that I went in way too deep and the car will never run again but now it's actually looking pretty good!

Want the exhaust pulley fitted on monday and the engine fully timed with a belt on ready to go. Then it's just throw the pas back on, inlet and some other random brackets. Going to just tape my rad on somewhere for now and make one ghetto ass header tank just for a test run.

So next week I will either Blow up or have one happy ass engine!

FINALLY! She is rebuilt and timed, no contact in the engine. Even turned it on the starter for a while and no problems.

Happy days!

Lost a spacer on the fuel rail so quickly made a nice ali one. Tempted to make them all ali now!

lol wasn't too bad to be honest I knew it wouldn't hit cos I spun it by hand first on the pulley. It was more to just be absolutely sure it's fine with no load and to build up so oil pressure to send some oil round the engine
