Turbophil had a butt plug made that seemed to be suitable. He may have finished with it now and have it kicking around spare |

This is coming together nicely! Good work! Thanks Gary! Got the engine 95% ready today, feel so close now!! Got the head on, rockers on and all torqued down, need to set the clearances still but that can be done on the car: 
Had to file quite abit out of the lugs on the exhaust manifold as it was fouling the studs quite abit for some reason. Turbo then went on, had a bit of a nightmare getting one of the manifold to turbo nuts done up, the one nearest the block on the compressor side, took the actuator off which gave me just enough angle to nip the swine up! : 
Routed the oil feed, had a fiddle in a few different positions and now have it so the union points towards the block, runs against it and out to the clutch cover, keeping away from the hot bits on the back!: 
Went round to Ben's and he turned down my pulley for me, he has his uses I guess..: 
Just need to: Torque the pulley down now but torque wrench is busted!! Knock up a blanking plate for the speedo drive Knock up the crank position sensor bracket. And it's ready to go in and get connected up with every thing and all the ancillaries lobbed on. Going to crack on with the bulkhead tomorrow, rub it down to bare metal and give it some red-oxide primeridge and a lick of paint. Get the car off the deck and take all the old fuel lines off and beyond!! Cheers |
