I've been a lazy c@^t, but i decided it's time to start updating this thing again
I did an engine swap on my daily EG. Put in the engine i had in my ED6 since it was a minter with 160k km on the clocks.. The old one had over 288k
Drives very well now, a few minor issues like the distributor acting up again and a bushing to be replaced on the suspension, other than that, i love it
Did some work on the car, other than sorting out stuff in my garage this is what i did
The subframe is finally back on the car..
The car is very dusty, but you can still see pearls pop up
Fitted lowering springs with OEM shocks that have been refurbished, shortened and hardened
Started assembling the interior back up some..
After i got the missing tie rod end i put the wheels back on and removed jackstands after long 3 months
The next day i started with the wire tuck.. First up was the messed up headlight connector. In the left hand is the OEM one in the right hand is what i had left from the previous owner
I've cut the connector off a old ED6 loom and i placed it where it's supposed to go so i have an idea about the lenghts of the extension
Horn wiring done
A bunch of wires later, still need to extend the grounds, corner light and indicator
Then i tried to prepare the engine to be dropped in, but i found an issue with the clutch not matching up to the flywheel.. Tried to undo it, but failed multiple times.. So i just said feck it and decided to mill the head and put a new gasket on my engine instead of running a bought engine of unknown quality..
Turned out to be the right call as some head bolts had rust on them and the gasket was obviously leaking in some places..
Going to dropp off the head to be resurfaced tommorow. Also valve stems will be replaced and valve seats fixed if necessary.. After i get the head back i'm going to take the engine to my mate and we'll clean it out and reasseble it back up.
That's all for now.. Comments are welcome, as always!
