how long did it take you to change engine and do what i did today?

[CMF_warpz0r]

took me 8 hours to

take out engine and gearbox, driveshafts, wiring
change over gearbox and flywheel/clutch to new engine
put new engine in car
take off head of new engine
take off head of old engine
put new head on old engine (about 50% through doing it, just need head bolt torque settings as i done have an angle degree thing)

How come you are changing the head?

 

[CMF_evade]

i left it to my mechanic took 2 days

 

[CMF_warpz0r]

well the engine i bought to replace my timing chain broken engine had heaps low pressure....

so, i changed over the new head onto my old engine, which i am in the process of doing now...

gotta get one of those angle guages...

Are you using new head bolts? I think they need to be new ones as they stretch.

 

[CMF_Ghetto Micra]

new head bolts or studs, new head gasket, etc..

you did all that stuff pretty quick

Gawd, it took me 3 months to put a new light-bulb out the front of the house. LOL
