ummmm, i took me engine out to rebuild it lmao
not been happy with the amout of oil the engine has been using latley, so ive taken the bottom end out to rebuild it, still went as good asalways but was more of an annoyance more than anything, so over the past few weeks if been bying stuff to rebuild it.
started off going well untill i removed a fuel pipe and it was sorta stuk, i gave it a hrad tug and it came free, great i thought then i looked at the raill, the end snapped off, bugger
quick call around and i have a new rail comming tomorrow, not a good start but never mind, anyway, continuied to remove the head and bottom end
head on the bench
engineless engine bay
new. freshly bored block
rods and pistons just removed from the old block
after the pistons and road were cleaned up they were refitted with new Sputter bearings
sptuers on the right, normal on the left
after the were all fitted i cheacked for the true TEC and marks up the flywhell end of the pully so you have 2 reference points to check
bottom wnd almost all complete, just needs the sump fitting to be done.
heres how its left, with the head studs wound home and backing plate all fitted.
should hopefully be all back together tommorw and fitted back in if i can be assed, if not will be fitted on saturday.

, but had a few hicups with the clutch, i fitted the AP padle clutch, but upon fitting of the engine it poped the input shaft out as it turned out it had no circlip or retaing nut on it 
so i spend 2 hours faffing around with that, eventuall got it all back in with the help of MattJ and Astra Dan, and about an hour ago it started up again, runs a bit lumpy due to the timing of the cams and i need to adjust the map a bit to suit, but shall be taking its first few miles tomorrow and the joyus task of running in again, anyway a few pics.
