Cheers Phatz, it should be a bit of a laugh, it's the first time I've done such a thingPhatz wrote:Nice work there mate. I reckon that is exciting and you should notice a difference with your new 1.8.
Keep it up.
!A familiar place indeed, my car's in that there picture you see!!!! Yeah both he and Paul are providing technical assistance, just like what a big brother shoulddaimlerman wrote:That place looks familiar to me.....
Hope Neil is keeping you on the straight and narrow!
Thanks Robbo, I've got new plugs for it alreadyrobbo86 wrote:Got a decent set of HT leads and some low low mileage NGK plugs if you want them for an m40. Nice work though there!
what type of HT leads are they?PAH! Ray Charles would have been quicker320Touring wrote:Bah, whoever painted that block must be called Ray Charles!
what you need is an m20b25
looks good though, means I'm not wasting all my time...
only kidding Chief. I'll get that m20b25 when you m30 that touring ;)A truer word has never been spoken, it has numerous uses too. Nope I don't live in a nuclear bunker however, I've been told that maybe I should consider it for the benefit of the general public. If you were asking if Neil lives in a Nuclear Bunker then the answer is I can't tell you or I'd have to kill youMorat wrote:That's a mighty engine crane!
So, do you happen to live in a nuclear bunker or something?

I'm just going to keep it auto, I'm a lazy boy at heart. Thanks, aye it's looking not too shabby. The under bonnet area shall get a thorough going over when I drop the old lump out...jbh wrote:is it staying auto or you planning on putting a manual in there?
good work BTW the new block should look nice and fresh under the bonnet.
hope you've cleaned up under the bonnet as well
Cheers again Robbo, I think I should be ok with the leads I've got, however I shall give you a shout if that changesrobbo86 wrote:They are just normal BMW HT leads in good condition for an m40!
Cheers Mr Ronan, yeah the old paint fumes simply fuel the nonsense that both Neil and I spout. Thanks for the positive feedback man, think it should be done this weekedTedswagon wrote:I called in to see this epic build in the flesh yesterday - strong smell of paint as I waked in the door and JP and Neil weren't making much sense! At first I thought it might be the paint fumes then I realised they never make any sense!
Engine bay and engine look fantastic. Glad to hear you got the bearing out last night. Should have it back on the road in no time.
That bearing was absolutely f88king annoying to say the least but at least it's goneThanks Murran always nice to hear something good!murran wrote:doing a nice job there. well done!
We tried using grease etc, got some of the way with that, then had to make a bodged together puller out of a socket, a bolt, 3 nuts and a washerjbh wrote:so what method did yous end out using to get the spigot bearing out?
It's smoked sausage chief:) must say its given me a taste for makin stuff look pretty-even if its just a 4 banger..grantfk10 wrote:Great work guys - loving how it's all so clean! Hope to see this one on the road soon ;)
Pepperoni pizza rocks!
Cheers Grant, to be fair the engine bay looked a lot worse than it actually turned out to be! Aye hopefully this weekend if all goes according to plan, yup it was used to provide sustenance for our weary souls320Touring wrote:It's smoked sausage chief:) must say its given me a taste for makin stuff look pretty-even if its just a 4 banger..grantfk10 wrote:Great work guys - loving how it's all so clean!

. As Neil pointed out it's smoked sausage like pepperoni pizza but better, truly a forgotten jem of the fast food world? OMG ROFLZ! A truly comedy line there Grantgrantfk10 wrote:OMG, you guys have just gone down in my estimation. Smoked sausage is the devils penis!
The only way you can redeem yourselves is by severely polishing that engine bay, .!
