Ive been busy today :)

Well today i finally got round to doing more on the engine with a little help from a mate of mine. We drained the coolant, and with abit of a struggle we managed to get the radiator out lol. After a few cups of tea we managed to take some parts of the engine off, such as the inlet manifold etc. Heres some pictures of today work








The front bank of cylinders


The rear bank of cylinders, note that the spark plug hole are filled with oil:(

The oil cooler is bust

[Fraz]

I would guess since oil cooler is away, its to give everything a damn good clean out

[Callyman]

Good idea Rob, Flushing the water ways out after the cooler has been changed isn't a nice job.

glad to see your using the right tools....a substantial looking hammer there

The reason all the bits are coming off are to get the heads off as well as the oil cooler and rebuild the whole lot, the radiator etc came off for cleaning all the gunk out and as hes a good boy hes not doing it on his mothers drive ( i'll get the blame). he's also doing it all himself mainly and is in no rush to have it back on the road. He really likes driving his Fiesta

I'm waiting for the posts to come in in a month or so asking you V6 guys 'Where's this bit go' and then posting a picture of an earth lead or a large hose
