Well got the head near totally stripped , well actually all stripped bar the three or four manifold studs lol need to take It into work and get a couple of nuts to remove them , lol adie the plans are full zetec turbo , but never done any other engine work so decide a wanted to renew the valves and all gaskets ,seals etc and doing as much as I can myself , don't claim to be anything special with engines , can service them and that's about as far as I go so want to learn As much as I can from this build , ordered my arp rods bolts and they arrived this morning lol now need to turn my attention to the bottom end now lol cheers

well bit of an update,the bottom end went after the photoshoot at in mulguy after 132000 miles, cause i needed the car as a dayly drive the 2.0 has been shelved as of now, sourced a 1.7 puma engine and box from flee bay and got stripping , lol
Image
and after a day of hard graft , remembering ave never done an engine conversion totally on my own, and no engine hoist i got to this point,
Image
Image
Image
dont think my girlfriends mum and dad were too happy about me turning the drive into a total bomb site and having bits of car lying around everywhere but they stuck by me lol so bid cheers to them lol
after a bit more stripping and learning lol
Image
and the money shot!!!!! and everyone who hasnt done an engine conversion but wants to i suggest you go ahead and try it, i cant describe the sense of achivement you get when you start the car for the first time , !! then proceeded to pee of everyone in the street on a sunday morning bleeding up the clutch and testing the car with just a manifold fitted , :lol: :evil: oh and a big cheers to big ian , who spoke me through bleeding up the clutch lol
Image
