Hi guys
Back on the old 2a again, this weekend it began with cleaning up the rocker cover and inlet manifold ready for painting then once they was done I did the same with the new to me 300tdi exhaust manifold, then once everything was dry I fitted them then today I fitted the new S.P. exhaust system a bit fiddly but got there in the end.

I know its a bit of an a** about face way of doing it but I plan to paint the engine in B.M.C. engine Green but I wanted to get everything fitted and there is still room to get round everything with a brush, anyway here's the pic's of the manifolds being done

Fitting the exhaust was a bit fiddly as I was on my own so had to resort to getting a of piece of wood to keep the exhaust away from the gearbox mount with the aid of a pry bar and to keep the tail pipe from sticking out to much using a piece of log jammed between the chassis and silencer and some more timber sat on an axle stand to keep it from hanging down for finally tightening everything up

New turbo next month can't wait

Now is as good a time as any to check the front prop clearance where the oil drain tube from the cyclone breather is welded to the sump, I had to re position mine as there was a real danger that on full bump they would clash

Sorry for the late reply as I don't get the chance to get on here much at the moment, anyway yeah I've checked the clearance and there is quite a bit or room between them but I will keep an eye on it but don't think there will be a problem as there wasn't with my last 200tdi 2a
