    I'd double check the n75 lines for leaks, that hose has split on me a few times and I had to keep trimming it until it got so short that it kinked.

          Thanks mate. Yeah the rods come with a little booklet. It says that the preffered method of tightening the rods is with a stretch gauge and they need to be tightened to 0.006" of stretch. It also states that if you dont have access to a stretch gauge to use a high quality torque wrench and tighten to 50ft/lbs 3 times per bolt using there supplied lubricant

            Torque wrench for us then.

                    Cheers mate, just re-honed the block and dropping the rods it. Everything looked pretty tidy in there so just giving it a clean and putting it all back together. Here are some more picks from the rest of the afternoon...

                    Cracking the head bolts


                    Head off


                    Stuff ready for me to clean


                    Turbo mocked up on the head




                    Head after we cleaned it up


                    Cleaned and honed block.

                    Should be a bit stronger


                    Hooray for big port



                    Forgot to say a big thanks the Gavin and his very accommodating family. Even gave me his little red polo as a loaner!

                      I am loving it. Good to practice all this on someone elses car, before I do my own!! Will get those other rods changed over tomorrow and give the pistons a good clean up before fitting the new rings.

                      I'll have the bottom end back together by tuesday morning. Then the head on with manifold fitted.

                      There's a bit to work out with the water and oil piping. Once the sump is back on, I can do the timing belt as well.

                      If there's no dramas fixing up the turbo to downpipe, we'll be running thursday or friday.

                      Gavin
