If you have access to a welding machine a nut welded on the end often works the heat helps free it off, Failing that your drilling it im afraid.

Looking good Rick :). Now thats what I call a battering ram.

Looking good, When's the big day? Oh and I forgot before you go and fire it up prime the oil system first, Disconnect the fuel lines and pull the glow plugs so it spins over quicker and crank it till the oil light goes out that way you have oil at all the crucial places when you fire it up.

Yeah drive it ;). With todays modern oils running engines in is a thing of the past just treat it gently for the first few miles and you'll be fine.

Water doesnt mix with oil, Oil mixes with water as the oil pressure is greater than water pressure. It will only mix if the head gasket goes between an oil and water way. Does the water in the radiator smell oily? Has anything changed recently or have you played with any hoses. Also check the...

Autodata says do them all 90 degrees. Personally id do them 42nm 57nm and 90 degrees, You'll be good at that :).

If you use a bleed valve make sure its the ball and spring type otherwise you end up with ridiculous boost spikes and melted pistons. I had a hks electronic one I was going to fit to mine but sold it when I couldnt find a manual pump I did have a naughty thought of finding an aftermarket...

Getting good at this engine building mate cant wait to see the finished item. Out of curiosity how are you controlling the boost? By the actuator or having an actual boost controller.

Me and my big mouth :)

Looks good to me that mate nice contact point all the way round the valve and seat. Dont worry about that extra contact point. If you add an extra angle to the valve the seat must be cut to match hence 3 angle valve seats.

You cant just put them in a lathe and re-cut them you have to set the angle correctly. If you're stuck send me them and ill cut them all and send them back for postage. ;)

Hi Jim, The brackets come with it didnt have to buy anything apart from the camera.

Works spot on Doug, The sat nav is surprisingly good and having the reverse camera helps loads when im hooking up to things.

Mini write up done if you need anymore info let me know.

I did have to remove the cage and ended up with this. I then had to remove the plastic strip across the top that the hazard light went through and fit the brackets to the side of the radio like this. DAB aerial and GPS mount on passenger side pillar and dash like this. Then the whole...

Cheers guys. Doug I didnt do a thread as it was boxing day when I did it. But it was straight forward enough. I'll stick some pictures up.
