i`ve been having similar fun putting on my rb box.

Then bleeding the brakes i knocked the collection bottle full of brake fluid all over my caliper.
Luckily it didn`t get the pads though

wanted to get the plenum powder coated, so just in case we did not get the engine out in the four hours we put aside i could at least take this to be done

done my fuel rail with tin mate. As long as you get it in the air so you can spin it whilst painting as there are so many little corners to get into. just my opinion many other ways too i suppose

well another half day and i have the engine clear of the shi@@er now!


took the head off and it looks like its been starved of oil, and also has a really cooked popcorn smell, some of the cams journals are also marked but still look of to use,


managed to strip it all apart from the gearbox as it was lying on the floor,managed to get all the bolts out, but for some reason would not come off, and with my Chronic Lower Discitis i left the thing, pleading with my friend to shoot me.

Fortunately got to the doctors today and got some tramadol

Can you actually wrap the standard manifold then?
I always thought there's no point really as it has the heat guard covering it!
