so engine is done and back together !

fingers crossed she works  s:) :) s:)

so she has

New style pistons
new clutch
re-honed block
new timing chain setup
all new gaskets
new water pump
new valve seals
valves re seated on head
new auxiliary pulley (mine broke whilst taking engine out)

That's a really good price for all that! Hope you're buying your mate a beer.

Step one move engine to car in my special made crate

Step two get under subframe by lying on side on creeper and sliding under , a lot easier without a gearbox

Step three wiggle off creeper and stand upright

Step four lift each side at a time sliding a bit of wood under until at height for trolley jack

Warning this is a mini workout !

Step five with no picture get engine to engine mount on drivers side and bolt loose

Step six call mate wait half an hour slide gearbox under car with trolley jack, remove trolley jack. Slide under car get mate to grab gearbox from above move on to body and push up whilst he pulls.

Step seven start putting bolts in on gearbox and engine mounts

Step eight once all in loose go around and tighten

STEP NINE clean out all crap from engine build and realise you have not fitted new thrust bearing to gearbox ! ! Yep I gotta take it back out tomorrow! ! ( just the gearbox mind )

Hahaha..nice one. Sounds like hard work,but still removes the need for a fair bit of expensive kit

This is brilliant! Makes it a lot clearer for those of us who've never actually seen it done. Thank you!

update the gearbox now has a new thrust bearing took 30 mins from start to finish with help of a friend.

I've still not got the thing to start as of yet !



UPDATE

So I had the head fully re-built (wasn't the issue but looked so much cleaner than my effort and was 100% right)

wish I had a picture as really does look like a new head.

then new head gasket / bolts for a 2nd time and finally

IT RUNS !!!!!!!!!


After much messing around I know have a y reg mr2 with

New clutch
New updated pistons
New piston rings
New timing chain
Fully rebuilt head with clearances checked etc
New pulley
New water pump
New aux belt
New injectors
Re honed block

Uhmm think that's it basically as good as a new engine.

Still stuff to do but big hurdle done
