Thanks

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

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!Last edited by Lito; 24-02-2013, 07:34 PM.

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.
