Anything else recommended to replace?

Phoneing Autovaux tomorrow to order?

It's up to you. I changed mine and they haven't leaked

Don't really plan to change the oil pump as it's not really a rebuild just replacing necessary parts.How much is the sbd oil pump rebuild kit out of interest?

Belts and pullys were removed today and can't see any signs of any oil or anything around the pump so should i really remove the pump and replace the oil pump gasket and crank seal if there is no sign of leaking??

Knowing my luck id replace them and the new gaskets will end up leaking :boggle:

If you change the oil pump, fit the SBD uprated inner gear and nylon relief.

I know it won't be cheap, but you're better off doing a full rebuild all off these engine have been around for ages, and have done loads of miles.

IMO, when you start changing things that really don't need changed, then thats when you run into problems like breaking sensors or bolts, threading bolt holes and the likes.

Sods law really, when you start to change something for the good, it normally goes bad.

Timing belt and tensioners, only 50 odd quid for the kit so might as well do it while its out. Core plugs are probably worth doing although not massively important.

Change all the gaskets, you'll regret it in the long run if you don't once it starts leaking :lol: Don't need to do the head gasket.

Clutch you said is fine.

Thats all you really need to check while its out tbh, not much else. Check the water bar for any cracks if its a plastic one, there known for cracking and it will be much easier to change with the engine out.

May get you 1 pic when it's done Dan.

Roose Motorsport imo even though I've never bought anything off it. :lol:

Anways we need pics of this engine?

Champion.

Where's the best place for complete hose kits?

full bottom end set from autovaux isnt expensive like mark :thumbs:

should get a thread up for this

Yea they can be bought separate mate.
;)

Think il wait until it's all running because if they do leak it would be easily accessable Dan.

Can the gaskets be bought seperate so wont need to buy a complete thermostat?

Both thermostat gaskets Mark,mine leaked as soon as i had it running.

Not sure about doing ALL the gaskets as the engine is bone dry apart from the sump gasket in 1 corner.

Water pump
Timing belt kit
Clutch
Rocker cover gasket
Throttle body gasket
Inlet manifold gasket
Exhaust manifold Gasket
Spark plugs
HT leads
Sump/baffle plate gasket
Coolant temp sensor
Water bar (upgrading to metal one)
Crank seal
Oil pump gasket

I'd do clutch as it's more of a ball ache doing it in the car.

Tensioners and belts I did for piece of mind. I did all the gaskets but then again I did a full rebuild.

CTS is worth changing because they're really cheap and can cause running problems if they are dodgey.

Spark plugs, HT leads if they look dodgey.

Can't think of too much else :)

Is there any parts that people would recommend replacing before fitting the engine into the car?

Clutch looks to have plenty life left in it and the timing belt & pullys look in very good condition & not too old but will probably still replace these for peace of mind.

Anything else worth replacing?
