Yes Ian, I would like to do this for a living but building a customer base is very difficult when you have such good engineers as Gerald, Sparky , Kemp, and Dave ( changes) not to mention many more enthusiastic amateurs like myself. I would be happy to rebuild an engine for anyone... but need to get my 2 done first... lol ?✌️ Quote Suspension, brakes, chipped, chargecooler rad and pump,injectors,ignition coils and leads, BOV, highflow cat and zorst, Translator and tie rods, Head lights, LEDs to tail lights and interior,Polybushes to entire front end, Rad fans, rad grill, front end refurb with aluminium spreaderplates and galvanised bolts.

top-plumber 545 Posted March 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 I can only imagine that the guys that installed the manifolds on these engines must have had some weird shaped spanner’s or deformed hands. Fekking mission. The S4 manifold for the white turbo engine will be much easier as the design is some what different and I have removed these in situ. Anyway timed up and nearly ready to go back in.
