Cleaned the engine a little and what I had done came out pretty good.

Exhaust manifolds are done and I will be taking the heat shied off to show them look quite good I think.

And the engine bay which is clean and I am happy with it now.
But this is why I have taken the engine out to do timing chains cause someone had ****ed it up previously..

Oh god, that looks a right mess!!
Sorry I couldn't make it mate, only got back into Sydney an hour ago! I'll help you when I can though :D Nice progress!!
Hahaha someone's silasticed the cover back on! :duh: Use a proper gasket or don't attempt it yourself. It's that simple.
Gees you're anal, Steve. Looking gooooood. :)
We didn't actually use a gasket for mine, as it doesn't have one. The instructions I followed said just to line the edges with new oil :eek:Quote:
