[quote=t5frankie;471150]now hurry up and do my engine its waiting for you lol[/quote] Haha, all in good time Frankie. We need to find a suitable time to get the motor and replacement engine up here. Out of interest is it a bare block or are all the ancillaries still bolted on? Best time for me would be start of April? Haven't got a weekend off till then.

[quote=Nealevo;471160]Forget frankies engine, I want a manual conversion done!!! :-)[/quote] Neal, if your serious I'm sure we could sort something out. As with Frankie mate as long as you dont mind getting a little dirt under your nails then a weekend will see it done. I have access to a house your more than welcome to stay at and have all the facilities to do the change required. All you need is the parts.

[quote=t5frankie;471198]the belt is half on half off dont think the cams have been turned[/quote] Make sure all the timing marks are still aligned then, if so then make or buy a cam locking tool and put the cover back on.
As always Emlyn is a true credit to the community :)

Unfortunately there are no paid positions available on this forum
No wonder that I am still waiting on my consultancy fees :rolleyes:
