Help removing my 13B engine

[Sean]

Look wot I did......

[grinder]

thats VERY impressive matey !! - very impressive !

and the haynes book - its a good laugh to read !

so have we progressed any more than what the piccure shows ??

well one good thing will come of this - if i need to remove my engine - i will just tow it to your house and let you do it

[Sean]

Well the engine is now sitting in the car with the bonnet just sitting on top to protect it from the rain!

It\'s in but not lined up properly, I can\'t seem to line up the clutch with the gearbox:reallymad

At the mo, I\'m stuck there really. I wrestled with the engine for a couple of hours last night (must have looked like a right twat:o ), but to no avail.

I need help!:god

[grinder]

on the plus side - you are up bright and early to get the job done !!

have you a copy of the Mazda Manual for your car - this may be a bit better for you

if not drop us an email and i will forward it to you !

[Sean]

Okay.... latest update,

It\'s in, it fit\'s, and the damn thing is bolted to the bloody gearbox jobby!

All thats left now is to connect the multitude of pipes wires cables plugs tubes etc, etc!!!!!

I\'ve connected a few but as for the rest of them, I don\'t have a bloody clue!!!!

I did label them before I removed them, but that was over six months ago. If they havent worn off, I still can\'t make head nor tail of my own system!!!!

I think I need to see another Turbo II next to mine so I have a pattern.

Any offers?  I\'m in winsford, not far from Northwich, Middlewich and Warrington.

Cheers guys

:wave

there is a possibilty that i could make it up at the weekend for a few hours ?

would that be of any use to you

well warrington is 25 miles from me - so how far are you from there ( junction 21 M6 )

[Sean]

That would be great!

I just want to get the thing started up, who knows, I may even make it to the meet yet!:cool

[grinder]

slayer eh ! - more of a metallica / pantera / Rage fan myself

you will have to give us some directions to your house - and i will speak to the better half tonight and see if i can come out and play over the weekend !

my plan is to get you to the meet !! - its like a personal challenge of mine

EKKKKK you are about 47 miles from me - thats not bad in the rover or the mondeo - but thats just short of 100 miles round trip ... Hummmm didnt realise you was THAT far away - thats gonna cost me £20 in juice

[Sean]

My mission too!

You can invite the missus too if you like (it\'s okay, my girl is a rex widow too!), if it\'ll help her decision making....... have you ever experienced "de ja vou" or however you spell it. I\'m sure we\'ve had this conversation before!

Oh! I\'ve never heard of slayer before (I just downloaded the pic from another site), but I do like Master of Puppets and Sandman!

You\'ve got my number already, just ring if you want directions (I\'m a proffesional driver, so I should be able to get you here, hehe).

[grinder]

i dont think the better half would be coming along to be honest - too much hassle with a 5 month old daughter - i tried to put the car seat in the rx7 - and it wont fit tooo well !

i have your number yes - i will stick it in my mobile !

and yes - im sure we have spoke about this before !! ( probably a good few pages back now ! )

[Sean]

lol:rollin

[grinder]

so how are things now ??

are you stumped with all the pipes and connectors - or are you still making educated guesses ?

[Sean]

I\'ve made quite a few guesses, but I\'m afraid I may be connecting the wrong ones (I have no idea) so I\'ve called it quits for now.

Sky\'s gone a bit grey anyway, so I\'ll put the bonnet back on and think about going to bed...... I\'m in work again at 23:30:(

Anyway, whats your job? you\'re always chatting on here (are there any vacancies? He he), not that I\'m complaining though. You\'ve been a great help so far!:cheers

[grinder]

Good Morning Matey !

i hope you had a good night - IN THE SNOW !!

well i have spoken to the better half - and it could be looking good for the weekend - aslong as the weather holds out !

as far as a job - im a systems development officer in the NHS - and i get the luxury of having a permenant 2mb internet connection !!!

[Sean]

Looking good for the 8th then!

As for the snow, F***ing stuff! I got stuck on the Bradford ring road this morning. In the end I put on the diff lock and done a 1/2 mile burnout (Shmokin:burnout )

Lots of dirty looks I can tell you!



Weathers okay for a Penguin, I guess!
