dizz cap i sorted , stuck it in the lathe and machinined it to the right size. what does people do with the water outlet. heard that the mitsubishi thermostat housing is the go, bought one, but looks dodgey to make it fit.

yes Jimbo, did have 1 litre in there, it sucks making new mounts, but has to be done. it means i can put the engine where i want anyway. keep you posted in how i go.

You did what????

4 jaw chuck mate, much better than guessing with a die grinder

How is it you didn't crack it??

[Jamie]

the gentle approach, with light cuts to get it to size, all sweet. just takes time getting the centre (cheated a bit there).

more pics to come, once the engine mounts are fabricated this weekend

Do you have a build thread yet??

If not, do one up so i can SPAM it

[Jamie]

nah no build thread, using this one to ask questions as i go, still long way to go, but will write stuff down as i go, because i can't find anyone else who has done this conversion into an old 1 litre sierra.
