    So we decided on pulling the engine rather than trying to get the gearbox back on underneath the car with limited access. Plan now is the following;

    - New clutch and/or flywheel (dogdish)
    - Replace all pipework
    - New actuator for the turbo
    - Clean down and repaint block
    - Wrap exhaust and downpipe

    Will update soooon..

    Maybe worth porting the exhaust manifold whilst it's off as from what I remember they are restricted at the collector.

    Ported (though not pretty) vs standard

    We are definately porting all the above, ours has lots of inperfections in the casting so have gone through a few dremel heads already... Slow progress but we are aiming for completion by June

    You need a carbide burr bit:

    Will go eat the metal a bit quicker, it's what I use for my manifolds plus it doesn't wear out quickly (had mine for years)

    So everythings bolted back together and the engine is back in the car. Two issues we have before it will start-
    - Which way round do the hoses go into the inlet manifold?
    - We are getting no spark from the distributor so will need to have a look into that..
