well today i drained the oil and took the sump off ,cause when i rebuilt engine i reused the conrod bolts which is a no no as they are stretch bolts .i found this out after reading on here .anyway ordered a set from the shop
all bolts came out only to find the dipstick holder was in solid and wouldnt come out so had to snap it off
,so one step forward 2 steps back as usual .luckily mr derry had some money in paypal and bought another dipstick holder for £15
new conrod bolts in and torqued up ,sump resealed and back on ,thats another job off the list .seems the more i work on the car the more i hate it really have lost heart in it
still left to do bleed clutch ,replace rear caliper as its seized ,top power steering fluid up .buy new battery and cable to relocate to boot ,sort wiring out for water pump for charge cooler ,fit lower grill and bumper ,fit wheels ,also when i refitted the subframe one of the bolts started to shear so need to get that sorted too .also needs wheel alignment done
