Tricky Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 No template I'm afraid, just a gentle time with the dremel, my current bonnet has been cut to sheds cos the new engine position is different to the old one. I've ended up swapping to a ramair filter instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDuff Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 Thanks for the advice etc. Hope to change the engines over next Wednesday. Will keep you up to date! Still looking for a correct size air scoop to cover the hole left by the old 1600 cvh carb setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDuff Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 Hope to swap engines on Wednesday. Is there any advantage in very slightly warming up the car prior to dismantling the oily bits? Does this help with undoing stubborn bolts etc? Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2rrr Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Welcome, 62 just a boy, crack on get it done. Enjoy the aches and pains that follow. Wouldn't waste any time on warming it up as you will only burn yourself on something hot. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 What Bob said! While warming is great for an oil change as it's nice and thin to drain out, for an engine change it just increases the risk of burns when you grab the wrong bit.

Captain Colonial Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 What are you doing with the 1.6? I might be interested in buying it if it's in excellent shape as my 1.6 CVH might be fatally wounded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDuff Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 Well, we did it all by our little selves, (with a few phone a friend calls!). The 1.9L is sitting in the Westie, waiting for a long list of connections. Whether we did it right , we'll soon find out ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
