i think what goes on in your bedroom should be kept between you and mel. use plenty of vasaline or it might go rusty

Party is about to start....

Wow a full kit?? That must mave cost you.

So has the ie grinder come out to play yet?

TRex · September 26, 2005, 10:30:05 AM

Yes not cheap at all, especially with 3 mm seals etc... (could of bought a couple EGI\'s easily)
And yes the grinder/dremel has been working overtime....

Made quite a bit of progress, more than I expected/would like.
Mainly due to some helper monkeys, sorry I meant, some keen friends that kept hanging around begging to help.... which naturally I didn\'t mind as at least I had peeps to make the tea and cakes while I did all the work!

(trex runs and hides as they post on here)

Hows the back!!! LOL When i did my T2\'s porting i had a bad back for a week after

>wince< I know how much a seal/gasket set is, let alone the tips etc. (I paid more than I sold my EGI for in rebuild parts..)
Are you replacing the side and corner seals too?
What are the end plates like for wear?
Did you open up the slots in your rotors yourself?
Are the ceaseless questions annoying yet?
etc....

TRex · September 26, 2005, 11:47:27 PM

Replacing everything.. all seals
Once replacing new Apex seals you should deffo replace all corner seals etc.
End plates are all great, no wear at all and no corrosion at water areas. Front housing was replaced as had some marks, could of been re-used.

This is a glance of whats to come... (just a dress rehearsal)

TRex · September 29, 2005, 10:57:19 PM

Well no turning back now...
Main engine now put together.
Just the sump and the \'engine breaking-in\' excedy clutch in the pic.. to throw on and hopefully she can be slung in...
