Nope. Het net so nou en dan afleiding nodig.

When I got to the workshop this morning I pulled the injectors and replaced all the orings as well, then the flex plate went on, and got torqued down, and only then the engine went back in.
I started the mon3ypit at around 16:04. Fired up first touch.
I still need to burp the coolant, and reset the ecu, then I can drive again...(to the aircon shop to recharge the aircon)

Nice, very nice. How is she running Pierre?
Are we going to shorten that extraordinary long front bumper?

It. And its called the Mon3ypit.
Its running very smooth. Cant give it the beans yet, still need to run it a bit, then do an oil change and filter.
The bumper will be replaced soon, I have a friend to go visit in SA...

I must mention that I took the head off a old Seagull outboard engine once. And I put it back again. But it never seems to run properly. Apparently Seagull engines only runs good in a drum of water but not so good on a boat. So it's not my fault that it never ran good.
