4 minute(s) of a 192 minute read

The decision was made to pull the engine out after looking at the state of the oil



And out it came



The next step was to rip apart my daily zr turbo for the engine





This gave me the chance to fit my PTP lightweight flywheel and a new clutch kit



Then in the mini



All fitted back up with the front end back on



And all done ready for work 28ish hours later after I started

New headlights too



Made it to work the next day never made it home





I plumbed my turbo water feeds I'm wrong but all fixed now

All fixed and running sort of ok I headed for a dyno day with a ford owners club i told them I have fiesta brakes so they let me go

And now fully up to date as the weather was lovely today I gave it a good wash

Small update the car was never running right it would boost all uneven and the manifold would not stop blowing

So had the manifold skimmed and works a treat



Then fitted a new genuine mac boost solenoid



Then took the car for a blast to see if that was the boosting problems sorted and it has very smooth delivery and faster than I need it to be. Then my car was so happy to be running good it did a little sex wee



My new tyres also turned up getting them fitted Monday
