Intake manifold off, with help from my good friend Dex
Front end off, rad gone, air con rad bent out of the way (soon to be deleted as it turned out), loom off and tucked out of the way...
I was left with this; bumper back on to be pushed out of the garage. (Still looking very sorry for herself!) (Ignore pics, seems I only took dodgy photos)
Engine out, stripping begins
Block disassembled; not looking toooooo good!
Off to the machine shop for the block, crank, heads, pistons and rods!
Few goodies started arriving.....
A lot of cleaning took place... The Mrs loved this part-- Genuinely!
Crank back in
1st Piston in and clearances checked.
More pistons installed, pathfinder mod started
Cams in - Uprated
Heads back on, timing all taken care of
Larger injectors fitted; only running 440's for the initial base map to get her broken in
Turbos on
Few too many beers later it seems!
On the stand all ready to go, minus wiring
