Kawa wrote: Here's the tricky bit. The engine and gearbox is wider than the hole you are trying to get it through!! The driver side chassis gets in the way. You have to try a few ups and downs to wangle the drivers side engine mount out of the way to give you a few extra mm. A more intelligent person may have removed the lower pulley to give a little more space. Think this would have made it a lot easier.
Thought i was being special. Cebul and i used our intelligence and just scratched the chassis to bits. :roll:

Hell yeah!! lol. I just hoisted the fooker out under the gearbox jumped out around the mount. Nothing broke, so all good :) Had me scratching my head for bit though. Had the same problem 6 years ago when my and Si did the same thing.

Ordered another water pump today, should get it tomorrow :D

Also picked up a clutch alignment tool as mine has gone walkies :roll: Typical as I've been moving it around the garage for about 6 years and now I need it - nowhere to be seen :evil: :lol:

Flywheel and clutch are fitted now and I've cleaned the block and gearbox up a bit. I've not polished the block to same degree as the last lump though, that was a mirror finish!!
