Scoff you need to get out more!! It ate a sofa bed
Wow a rock and Tampax shredding machine, I want one.
My thoughts exactly, but hold on, Ipswich could be in that passenger seat, it's going in.
Convincing enough for me - Cheers Scoff.

Thanks C**tMy thoughts exactly, but hold on, Ipswich could be in that passenger seat, it's going in.
Flywheel is just something I'd let an expert do and even then, like you already have, double check everything. I've seen the carnage from the classic mini world where the flywheel is just if front of the drivers family jewels!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Could save a younger pup a fortune that could

Please start another thread titled 'shreader porn' in the general discussion area.
Only kidding - put whatever you want up, and that's a mighty fine shreader, I wonder how many people have lost there limbs / lives in one of these things
Is one o them romils block??

nah, most of them where probabley marky b's

Talking of shredders, - believe Ross had a close shave with an angle grinder in his tracky bottoms

not heads, just pistons, liners, head gaskets, still on orignal crank and shells thoughnah, most of them where probabley marky b's
Note to everyone , make sure they are baggy track bottoms so it snags the blade and kills the motor, if I was wearing my Lycra ones I would have had no sack leftTalking of shredders, - believe Ross had a close shave with an angle grinder in his tracky bottomshahahahhah close call hahahahahha
I once put a 12" table saw blade in a 2kw grinder to chop a doorway through a barn door. Somehow I managed to slip and drop it while running, the blade swung by my leg and sliced through my jeans, incredibly just brushing the skin without injury. That was my lucky day

Scoff , I only need to replace your name with mine to believe I'd do something just this stupid , are you sure your not interested in the building game ?hahahaI once put a 12" table saw blade in a 2kw grinder to chop a doorway through a barn door.

Ross i fook everything up, electrical / car related, I just can't help it. But I do have top say, you chucking an angle grinder into your ball sack was one of the funniest things I'd ever seen. The look of sheer panic then the look of amazement of how you hadn't cut your balls off, then panic again as you tried to turn off the bound up grinder which was trying to chew your balls off.
Classic, ney definitive TNT moment.
Thanks for bringing it up Karl.
A bit more progress.......
I thought it was about time the engine went back in....
And there she be.........
That's it for the time being, a couple of points.
1. Leaving the gearbox in is in my opinion the best way of doing an engine removal but you must ensure that the crank end pully is removed, the front right hand engine mount is totally disconnected, supplementary front steady is removed, both other mounts are loosened off and that the gearbox is supported on the right hand side (as looking from inside the car).
Keep to this and it's a very easy task to both remove and install.
Next up, get the head on and start grafting Dave Reeds down pipe onto my existing set-up. A little bit for tonight.
good work ,keep it up
good darts andy! have u given the block a lick of paint too?
Don't be daft.
why not? i know chrome dont get u home, but it makes it loads cleaner and tidier for next time. i dont even get dirty ripping mine apart these days
Got the head on and Mock fitted to see what needs doing to the down pipe to make it fit. I;m away for a few days, so it'll have to wait untill the weekend now.
Pah
Update
No pictures, but
1 - the head is on an torqued down 80NM
2 - Big Dave's enlarged elbow grafted on and fitted.
3 - Rad in.
4 - Alernator on.
5 - Tappets adjusted.
Not much left to do, May be able to fire up this week all being well.
Excellent news Andy.
Hope it fires up easily enough dude
Ross
Gravel in the gearbox? Or is that only when you come over and help me?
Hahahhahahahhahahhahahahhahhahahahhahahha loooooooooooossssssserrrr
I'm ignoring that shorty
Almost got all the cooling pipework sorted tonight, well I would have got it done, except that I thought the 2 pipes that run across the top of the engine (expansion from the degas pot to the expansion tank and the return from the degas to the expansion tank) looked ****e, so I re-routed them behind the front cross member so there are no pipes going across the top.
Got to love a bit of copper and cable ties.
That's it for this week unfortunately as every night this week is taken for, so possibly be able to get on on it on Sunday for a bit and we should be 99% there.
Just a stab in the dark here, but I have changed my TB to a slightly larger affair, I'm assuming that with a larger TB I will have to increase my overall fuel trim to take into account the extra volume of air going in. Does that sound about right?
I know I'm going to have it re-mapped again, but to get me going and get the engine run in I think this would be ok for off boost driving.

No andy don't adjust any trims. You might find throttle response changes a little and so the accel pump / transients might need a tweek. Keep an eye on afr's at full throttle if you think flow is improved anywhere but the throttle alone shouldn't make much or any difference.
Lol, cheers Chris, this was indiectly aimed at you, thanks for the reply. There won't be any wot util its mapped again as I have a new cam, exhaust manifold tb etc, so things could be way off.No andy don't adjust any trims.

Might just get the Fluffmiester up and running tomorrow (fingers Crossed)
Dnt forget to run that new cam in... Or you'll be changing it again..
2.5K - 3K 20 mins should suffice.
indeed boss2.5K - 3K 20 mins should suffice.
Yup, just dnt let it tick over really.. It hard really as you've got a whole new build, should of really thrown a standard cam in as u dnt really want to rev it like that with the new rings etc..2.5K - 3K 20 mins should suffice.
ours was a total new build cam and pistons liners and rings we held for 20 mins at 3000 ish revs and weve had no probs and our rings were only inserted using wd40 and all sweet with ours
Well, Fluffy's back up and running.
Fired up surprisingly easy.
Good good, how does she feel? Rev ok? No unwanted knocks and rattles?
Cheers guys
Oli Fluff's still in the garage on axle stands atm and I only had enough time to run in the cam. This sounded very good, no funny noises etc, I need Ross to get round here to mod my bumper, then I can start fiddling with the fuel as it started mega rich yesterday, I'll need a clear head for that though.
I should be able to get her out on the road next weekend to see whats what.
It's a good feeling when it first fires up
Unfortunately, all's not as good as 1st thought!It's a good feeling when it first fires up
I had an issue when plugging my injectors back in on the back of the ecu and shorted out some pins which I thought I'd got away with. I don't think so. Early days yet, but it looks like I may have damaged the ECU and or a couple of injectors.
Standby!
Hmmm, Injectors? ECU? Wiring/pins???? Oh yeah, EFi all the way...
(Sorry but LOL)
Lol - I've just asked Ross if he has a spare carb.Hmmm, Injectors? ECU? Wiring/pins?
And for the record I've never expressed an opinion that EFI is superior to carb. The ignition side is without question, but fueling wise, you only have to look at a few motors on here to see some well set up carbs. I chose efi as it seemed like a logical step forward and it was and still is a challenge.
So stick your sarcasm up your alyhole
