New engine arrived - Request for help

Post by timmsky » Fri Jul 06, 2007 2:40 pm

My 'new' engine has arrived... a 30K miler std K series with all the bits, and I mean ALL the bits attached.

I even have the exhaust manifold, flexi pipe, both drive shafts, expansion tank, fuel rail, intake manifold, engine mounts, alternator, coil pack, starter motor, gearbox and all the pipes and electrics up to (but not including) the ECU!

It was from a Honda conversion donor...

So... question is - who's up for a bit of spannering one weekend soon?

I'm away from the 12th to the 23rd but anytime after that until the end of August is good. Naturally I want to get it done quickly, and will pay heavy beer bills for any involved ;) Since it's such a journey i'd even offer to put you up in a local hotel for B&B so we can make a night of it :thumbsup I'd offer the house but there's a resident dragon, and the kids would make your life a living hell at 5.30am :roll:

I also have SBS2 suspension arriving in the next few days and the Victories are already sitting in my garage waiting to be deployed...

She'll look a wee bit different when completed 8) then it's off for the respray :twisted:

No worries - the West Coast is my playground, so plenty of excuses for runs ;)

Dude, I'll see if I can shuffle anything. Gonna be difficult TBH, as I'm away for a fortnight at the end of August and taking any more weekends that month would probably be stretching the cover I can get.

If I can manage something, I'll be there mate :)

If I'm free when you decide to transplant, I'll come along and help, although I'm talking physical help as opposed to technical.
