thanks do you know much bout that oil sandwich plate? i took it off cause was leaking, im not guna run oil cooler of it but i think i need a shorter screw for oil filter without it? but thinking moil filter might hit sump without sandwich plate on? or i could just get a new seal for it from vaux

this build is progressive pornography

lmaoo i hope im not creating pornography here

got a few new bits from txautosport and autovaux again

nice!!! how much was the head gasket kit and head bolts? as i need to get a set for mine and have those head gaskets got a sort of visial identification to see if they're standard or thicker? if they have where abouts can you take a photo as wouldnt mind checking to make sure mines standard thickness...

erm think head bolts were £10 for set, gasket set around £35-40 and belt kit was around £70-75. not sure if gasket is marked for identity, ill have look 2mra! sometimes it goes by colour, one i removed was red so this one is different.

oh right, how did you get those did you have to give them a ring?

no, just ordered them off net. actually they rang me after i made order and said i had ordered the early timing belt kit and the late type head bolts, so they was checking if i made mistake. so think somewhere down the line someone has put in wrong headbolts maybe or vauxhall did that on a few cause they said sometimes people order like that, i just went with what i ordered thou as same as parts i took out!

whats the part number for head gasket kit and late type head bolts dude? if you can get them from your receipt i'l order myself a set for mine.

Engine looking good mate, Like reading a good build thread

thanks mate
harvey.. head gasket set is AS90397813 and bolts AS90466480... check what bolts you have thou, there are female and male torx bolts and think different lengths too

setbacks today well firstly breather had been painted few days ago so i now fitted it

then baffle gasket went on and then fitted pick-up pipe

then put sump on and started to torque down and a bolt snapped, so had to all come back off again
here pic of snapped bolt, i eventually got it out but sump is cracked a little so guna have to weld that when i can

The sumps alloy so you won't be able to weld it I had same problem with mine was just easier to source another

How very annoying that, especially if you have to get new one

You can pick them up for like £20
