Called over to ians today to pick up another engine to replace mine.

Was good to meet ian for the first time. Had a good chin wag and saw his car which is a very lovely z.

And in proper good style ian didnt even want paying today as he wants,me to get it built up and running and to know the engine is good before payment.

Top bloke, and proper club spirit.

hats off to you ian, not many members would do that!

More than welcome bud, hope it does well for you, ive given you a run down on the concerns that i had before it was pulled, let me know how you get on, was good to meet you and your mate, hopefully get your car back on the road and we can see you at JAE this year :D

Nice one Vods.

Well done matey, Club Spirit to the max...........

 

Alz.

Well in Ian, proper club spirit at it's best.

Wouldnt get that level of service from a garage! Nice one Ian :thumbup1:

Now that is what i call good spirited,It gives you faith in human nature.

have you striped it yet? or you just going to stick bits back on and try it out?

 

if its striped i want to see pictures lol

Starting on it first thing in morning :-). Need to get a engine crane sorted asap and get that spigot bearing ordered too.

But will most likely try it as a already built engine first(mainly cos its quicker,lol).

 

Once ive got it all up and running i will post a video up of it for ya.

 

Hopefully should be all done by end of week.

once you get a engine hoist id check that oil pan first make sure its not dented. i didnt drop it but as we were lifting it and moving it about to get it in the car it still might be a good idea to check it. dont want it to starve the engine as it cant pick up the oil or you will be back to square one.

After i drain the oil from mine i'll swap it over.

Good luck with the engine swap,hope all goes well with it

Nice one Ian, top bloke! Glad for ya Dave, can't wait to see your Z on the road, just remember, even if the engine does have an issue or two, strip it and combine the two, you know your heads and cams etc. are good, all you really need is the bottom end.

ooh just remember to change them turbos over, the ones on it are fubared.

nice one Ian ....club spirit at its best ....
