Still waiting for clutch parts.
Emailed Design911 to ask where the PSP repair kit is. They promptly sent an email saying that they would check and the next thing, I get a dispatch note.
Hope the same works for the PSP reservoir.
Didn't do an awful lot today. I did annoy 51rider a little.
I figured that I could attach the engine harness to the engine with inlet manifold and then install the engine and then put the DME connector section through the firewall. Did they assemble it like this in the factory?
I think I will have to remove the throttle body as the angle of the chain to the lifting loop will come against it.
This meant that I could get good access to the top of the engine and assemble it neatly.
Before that, I noticed that the section of engine harness from firewall to DME connector block was covered in Calotherm cloth. It probably does it's job (and it was unsightly) but I elected to remove it to see if I could see anything untoward.
There wasn't thankfully but I wrapped it all back up with PVC loom tape, restoring it to 'original condition'. This took the best part of 2 hours.
(oops - but messy with a touch of copper ease for ground bolts.
I never knew the extent to which I would eventually mitigate seized bolts).
I really want to get the clutch and bell housing in before installing the engine. Then i'll be totally familiar with it and it will make another clutch change easier.
And I am so looking forward to many parts of the vehicle bereft of seized bolts and working on an engine that is clean.
