    Might have a few friends coming along tomorrow:

    1. MoulaZX
    2. Hidds
    3. Anti
    4. DJHZEX


    Feel free to tag along and learn with us. This is a one of a kind and rare opportunity to see an engine out and dissect the parts that goes with it (sorry for the anatomical term) that I wished I would have done before doing it myself. Oh well, there's no turning back now... :p


    Arvin


    P.S. Anyone of you guys got a long and sturdy 6mm allen key that I can borrow? Those allen bolts that are holding my rad pipes are tougher than Goliath!!!

    I used the bar from the engine stand as an extension on my little allen key

    An In hex socket does the job. Can get short ones (with an extension) or long inhex sockets to get at these. You need a 10mm for the head bolts too... if you are going that far.

    PCV's

    I've think I've got a new spare set if you want them cheap.

    Ordered 4 by mistake from Z1 with their silicon PCV hose set. I'll have a look in my spare parts box and get back.

    Don't want much for them so name a price and their yours (If i can locate them).

    Pete

    Those looking for engine work progress you can just skip this post entirely lol.

    Small note. 4 of us were there today. And that kitten is a stray kitten that wandered up to us and hung out with us for the day while we worked. I decided to call him VeeGee (VG30DETT... get it?! Horrible I know, lol).
