I will be watching every step, i to have an SPI here in Sweden and want to upgrade in the near future. What have you done with your old engine?

I will be selling it.

[silverbullet 96]

Probably not a big deal for the seasoned tinkerers and mechanics here; but today I am extremely pleased with myself. '

[Carson]

well done, did you hire the lift or buy one?

[silverbullet 96]

I bought it. On sale at Jula, I will sell it on when I am finished with it.

Spent Sunday afternoon cleaning and degreasing the engine bay.

Took a bit of time and a whole pile of cloths, brushes and rags, but turned out alright (i think)

Also gave the subframe fresh coat of paint.

Short block and ancillaries arrived with Guessworks for the gearbox, med flywheel and clutch assembly to be "bolted" on.

Alloy "chinese" radiator arrived today, after my initial inspection i was fairly impressed with it. However the cowling didn't fit over it, it fouled in various places. Meaning the bolt holes would never line up.





I was feeling brave, so I set about the cowling with my new angle grinder. First time I have ever used one (so i was fairly cautious)

removed the top lip:



trimmed around the corners:



And…….




Hopefully there is enough clearance for the fan…...
