what to do?

[tinkerbell]

i have three thing going on at the moment:

1. radiator is stuffed, need to replace
2. head needs to have valve seats re-cut
3. need to remove and replace gearbox

so should i just pull the whole engine?

or remove the radiator, then the head, then remove the gearbox?

i have space and everythign i need... but unsure if it warrents total engine removal

hmmmm... need input!

i'd go with radiator, valves then the gearbox.

but then again, if you work on your gearbox first, and your engine over heats, at least u have a good gearbox waiting for a new engine

stop driving so hard for a while and start using your clutch to change gears

If you have time do a through job. All depends on how much time you can spare i guess?

[tinkerbell]

i have until November really...

which is why i am considering doing a total engine removal...

[tinkerbell]

PS - i have a good gearbox on the car, it is not broken, just upgrading it to ITR specs...

[cldc2]

well if you won't be needing the car, do it once and fix it up properly

The head is going to be where the down time is as you're going to have to wait on somebody. You can do the gearbox and radiator in a day if you have you parts ready to go. Don't see the need to pull the engine.

Pull the engine out.
Makes it alot easier to do everything else.
Port match it while you're at it

Yep engine out. It makes it more difficult to get the gearbox out just by its self. Plus you can do heaps of stuff with the engine out like cleaning.
