DIrtyTorque's odd corner.

I envy your new welder,ive used a 100mig for the last time today as i threw it out the garage

I really really don't know how you managed that exhaust with that cosmo/sip.
Hats off to you.

They're ****.

lol....yes they are!

what was you welding thin'"ish"stuff ?

yea mostly thin wall,it workes fine once cold but once hot its poop! going to save for a tig next so i can fab some proper stuff up!

Time to start thinking of putting the engine back in.
This weekend probably.
Just got some small jobs out the way 2night.
Torqued up pulleys installed primed and vaseline packed oil pump.
PAS system adjusted and tensioned up.(Seems to fit slightly differently on this ACE block)
Charger tensioner system adjusted for slightly smaller pulley.


Ordered some NGKPFR7B plugs(NGK equivalent of Bosch audi s2 FD5POR )...

You will!

Jesus, the G-Lader and it's associated paraphonalia is nearly bigger than the engine block

Good work!

yeah the engine is mounted to the glarder,not the other way round.
It's only real function is to prop it all up.

ok drive shafts all done up.Thats the nasty bit out of the way.
Accomplished what I wanted this weekend.
Most of the pushing and pulling of the car is out of the way.

Are you going to try and have it ready for Stealth, mind you you won't be able to run it will you even if you did. Excellent work anyway dude, keep going at it!

I'm trying.It would be nice.

dunno if i should wrap the downpipe or not.
Appart from potential performance gains if any there is the issue of the gear shift selct cables nestling very close to the exhaust manifold.

ordered revotec 9" fan.
Once that's here i'll start it.[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I have to go to a family function 2night which has put a crimp in my day.
Anyway,should be on for a start tomorrow to check everything has gone back together ok.
Fitted a 9" fan instead of a 2nd 11" which was being attacked by the charger when the engine moved.
So ,my 16vg60 Mk2.

Loving your work as always!

Not as busy as I should of been.Thnks Mr Riot.Ok so far,but the proof of the pudding is in the eating as they say.

Got out of the family function thing with the inlaws.
I've got flu don't you know.

Obsessive!
