Time to fit up the water pump. Im using the one of the motor, not sure if its the genuine one or a mix n match for the RWD conversion. It seems to work ok tho. I gave it a coat of heat proof paint, just makes it look a bit nicer.
Timing belt is the next thing on. VERY important to ensure that you have the cams lined up in the correct position before you put the belt on, also having the crank lined up too!
There are a few water housing that need to be fitted up, on at the front and one at the back. Ensure to use the gaskets and i used threebond to ensure they seal.
I painted the rocker covers to make it look a bit neater. Its just heat proof paint, but i think it looks alright. Im not really into chrome and all that. But I did pick up some bling bling in the form of an oil cap. Got it of ebay for $6.00
Now, the interesting part. I was determined not to use teh stock inlet manifold. I picked up a genuine RWD manifold cheap so i thought i would use this instead. BUT it doesnt fit! Time for some modifications....Basically I retained the factory mount, I just spaced it out and lowered it by about three inches.
It looks a bit rough at the moment, but ill clean it up and paint it all. It actually works well and its quite secure and tight.
