its been a while since i updated here, if anyones reading here you go got the manifold stud out, eventually, tried a few engineering places local, none would touch it because of the snapped stud extractor (stupid previous owner!) and then i got sent the wrong replacement manifold studs, so that all put the project back a week! anyways, while the head was off i fitted the FMIC and rad ![](http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/183129_10150393948120092_518540091_17363468_7586295_n.jpg) ![](http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/183220_10150393948625092_518540091_17363472_31422_n.jpg) and painted the engine blue, after i got the head back i cleaned it up fitted a new head gasket and then fitted new big end bearings ![](http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/184307_10150402303970092_518540091_17469299_7998339_n.jpg) inlet and exhaust/turbo back on ![](http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/189001_10150405732860092_518540091_17514295_4766212_n.jpg) ![](http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/181577_10150405733410092_518540091_17514313_7250692_n.jpg) and back in the bay! ![](http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/181577_10150405734380092_518540091_17514342_365098_n.jpg) then blasted the cam covers ![](http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/180034_10150402304210092_518540091_17469301_1490470_n.jpg) primer (incl timing belt cover) ![](http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/180500_10150402304355092_518540091_17469302_8284552_n.jpg) ![](http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/185908_10150402304595092_518540091_17469304_5151136_n.jpg) paint ![](http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/181755_10150402304805092_518540091_17469306_3520434_n.jpg) ![](http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/182244_10150402304960092_518540091_17469308_649132_n.jpg)

(worlds shortest vid) but its signs of life!! crossmember done ![](http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/198328_10150413962165092_518540091_17611579_2545095_n.jpg) and finally back on its wheels ![](http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/200788_10150413962415092_518540091_17611587_3942768_n.jpg) and today i sorted out the clutch pedal, used the SX pedal with a bit of modding ![](http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/200232_10150413964735092_518540091_17611632_8197976_n.jpg) ![](http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/196728_10150413964965092_518540091_17611635_3719290_n.jpg) hope to have it running 2moro once i have finished off the fuel lines ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)
