I was so so so tempted to go for a forged engine and spend the wedding fund , but the last wedding fund went on a 500 bhp escort cosworth build , and in my fiancé words " don't you dare or you will be scared to sleep at night " , gulp !

Oil control rings , the rest of the engine was very good, abbey were rite without looking at it ! Had a few hours on it today the engine is in and bolted up, im not going to rush it ,plus very busy at work i will keep you posted guys .

Got my engine back from abbey yesterday ( nice coffee ) so a day in the garage today me thinks ......

Thanks ZMAlex for the bits and pieces I ordered from you they arrived quick and well packaged :-) Piking up the engine on Saturday morning then a weekend in the garage .

Yep me and the mrs are up for this ,if I remember how the engine goes back in the z! Would be nice to meet some forum members .

Hi mate I would say three days going very steady, the first problem was disconnecting those bloody plastic connectors, it took me the best part of a day trying to get the right angle to get the engine out. After nearly giving up I found out one of the lifting straps had a grip on the gearbox . I was so peed off once it was out I took the front panel off any way . You live and learn, I Have to thank you for you're threads it gave me inspiration

She's out , Next time I will take the engine and box out like the experts say #long hard week

Getting there, Slowly

One more question before I go into the garage am I ok to disconnect the a/c lines from the pump without killing myself, I've never done an engine with air con before.

Ok will do, I'll carry on for now.
