Right, engine is rebuilt. Had a problem when putting the new manifold gasket on. Threads in the head were stripped. Had to retap new threads in the head.
Manifold was cracked and had to get welded. Downpipe threads were stripped for the lambda sensor, had to be retapped.
My engine is almost out and should be intomorrow.
Tonight is gonna be spent getting stuff ready for front mounting the intercooler. As the combat evo 2 bumper has loads of space at the front im making brakets for it to fit.
Should be on the rollers for wed night.

The threads in the head were stripped. Had to retap them and put a larger bolt in. Its fine now. Engine is going in tomorrow night. Just waiting on my samco hoses and goodridge hoses arriving tomorrow.
