Engine removal
I use this guide when i first tried my engine out and it helped loads. One thing i did differnt, was to remove the complete prop in one hit, not split it. Mark where the bolts are, so they go back same. I also labelled every connection with maksing tape and a number to each side. ie. 1-coilpack 1, 1-colipack conn 1, Get three 30cm extentison bars and a decent 14mm socket on 1/2" drive. This will make getting the top bellhousing bolts of easier. When raising the engine, go nice and slow, keep checking that nothing is still attached, as some of the pipes on the sides of the engine can only be done when block is half out. Ive done 3 now and its a good knowledge curve. Stu

update on problems
Unreal!!!!!!!! If its rated to the power it states, either it wasnt lined up correctly or something else wasnt right. I changed my clutch last week (was a Standard Nissan one) as it couldnt handle the mods ive got, and it didnt look as bad as that. I would defo be asking q's to the manuf / supplier Stu

Does anyone on here have access to a Reliant Robin/Rialto/Regal?
Si, me and mates do the odd bit of Banger racing at a local track, we were given a robin to race in its own class "three wheeler chain together" Basically i was in a fiesta and my mate in the robin. Both chained together side by side. Only lasted 3 laps and he rolled the robin onto the front of me and i continued driving, Fooking funny. I saw one in the local paper for £50 collection, but it went straight away. Really fun car to mess about in.

Lesson well and truly learnt
Lesson learnt after replacing the clutch, had a few bits to sort out ie, a few bolts and adjusting. After in a rush to get the motor running, OVERTIGHTEND the starter motor bolts and sheared the threads.:slap: Went to start today, and one turn then just a whine noise. Checked and the starter was hanging off. So an hour later after retapping the thread to the box with an M12 tap and die and its sorted, Been out testing it, and its so much better.:nana2:

What a difference........
After changing the clutch, the complete kit, went direct to excedy, for the plate, cover and bearing, replaced the gearbox mount and sorted the bushes in the gearstick, new oil and lubed everthing up, found the prop washers were wrong way round. Drives superb, and very very smooth. Hit the fun pedal and all hell broke loose. I had discoverd i had boost jets and was running in safety mode a few months back, these were sorted but due to the clutch i couldnt get the power down.. I have since done a throttle body clean and fully sorted the electrics Christ, it was quick before, now its an complete madman. Come on Surrey and Bournemouth rolling road days..................:dance::dance:

Never ever again.....
Today was the day, new clutch time, it started well, everthing off until it came to the bellhousing bolts, someone must have hired guy the gorilla to do them up, besides no fooking room, to get sockets in. After much swearing and ciggies it was off, the new clutch went on no probs, and the rest wasnt too bad. Honestly i thought zed engines were bad, but then it throws O2 sensors and a clutch in the party. I have learnt a big lesson, NEVER NEVER AGAIN will i do it myself. But its in and fully working, just need to adjust it slightly. Give me engines out anyday. Plenty of Stella to be consumed tonight. STU
