I picked up a second hand sump on ebay as mine had significant corrosion, the sump has a baffle installed already that bizarrely appears to be OEM?
Anyway, it needed an oil return hose adapter fitting for the turbo:
That'll do
Well actually it didn't as I eventually decided to weld it into place rather than trust the thread and gasket. Unfortunately no pics of the job except for the shiny new TIG welder that I bought for this project.....

Nice to see some progress
Out of interest how much was it for them to install the sleeves?

They did sleeves install and honing, line honing of the crank journals, chemical clean and polishing of the crank for £1k.
Check out their website, their prices are good and they know their stuff.

I'm still working out what I think is the best way to vent the crankcase, it will probably involve a large catch can and several brake boost valves.
I rebuilt to top end of the engine with pretty much all new parts including:
In place:
New valve stem oil seals:
Valves and retainers:
Now onto the bottom end:
Bearings:
I got the machine shop to measure everything that I needed to know the dimensions of to remove the guesswork out of fitting bearings, still I plastigauge-d everything to double check.
All was good so onto the fitting:
Piston rings:
I made mu own setup to set the correct gap on the rings, it worked really well:
Then combining the rings, pistons and rods:
And checking the gap on the rings:
And in you go...........
Coming together......
New oil pump, water pump and timing belt stuff including the balance shaft delete:
Then head meet bottom end with an OEM gasket:
And on with the cams, followers and the rest:
The rest of the cam timing gubbins in place:
Random:
Adjustable cam gears:
Random bottom:
I decided not to do the rocker cover in a solid colour:
I'e decided to fit an OEM weight flywheel:
With a new clutch:
More soon...............
