The old tensioners are the main cause of start up rattle though Joe, the upper guide is just what the chain rattles on.

brapp brapp!
I know what you're saying but, RR SR's usually don't have the upper chain guide which is why it's strange !
Joe
Perhaps newer RR SR's didnt have them as they introduced the newer tensioner, but then the new tensioner was brought out when they found 144s suffering from chain rattle, which would have been after GTI's finished production...weird! Nissan parts bin yo!

Engine looks lush mate. You going poly engine mounts or don't you fancy the vibration? lol
Lets get started...
Drain out the last of the fluids...
Oooot...
Box's on bench...
N16 Clutch Arm too small at the bottom...
Copper sleeve...
In place
All fitted...(minus the return spring DOH)
N16 Slave cylinder...
SR Offered Up...
On all 4 mounts...
Actually Level Unlike the last one...:double fuck:
Unused wires on Interior loom connector 1 heatshrinked off...
Consult port all loomed up (just needs +VE and Earth when in place)...
NATS...
Unused wires on Interior loom connector 2 heatshrinked off...
Wiring notes...
Engine bay connectors rewired into the old N16 connectors...
Standard N16 interior looms start...
Standard N16 interior looms halfway...
Powersteering Pump Pressure Switch...
N16 Interior Looms Finished...
4 Interior Connectors now in place...
Wiring laid out, CONSULT, NATS and Dizzy/Injector +VE...
Old 'n' New, shell awaiting...
Car is as the last picture at the moment. Engine was fitted up and the driver side engine mount aligned. I then removed the engine to weld in the mount and paint the bay, only to run out of welding wire after 1cm of weld
Tried the local tool shop, 3 motorfactors and an engineering firm to try and get hold of some gasless mig wire with no avail. So it will now be waiting 'til next weekend. Which only leaves me 4 days from getting it done to doing a 700mile trip to Blackpool!!
All the wiring is done, bar the ECU coolant temp sensor (to be connected when the engine is in place) and the blower/rear demist load as I couldn't find that bit of paper. But the load senses can be done whenever, as they aren't needed to get the engine running.
Hopefully next weekend will see it running, bar anymore fuck ups!!

Yeah all right you weirdo, I get the point :lol:
I could do, but im now without a car and 5 miles from thr unit (I had to walk/run home at 1am saturday morning as I didn't realise the time and had missed the last bus!).
TBH I'm struggling to see how it wouldn't start. The only thing different with running the NATS in teh N16 is I haven't got it connected up to the central locking ECU. But in a GTi the car will still run with the C/L ECU unplugged so they must just be sense feeds. But famous last words and all haha! I'll probably be getting the train to Blackpool knowing my luck!

Yeah Liam, I was gonna say the same. Just plug fuel lines in, and if all wires are connected in, should fire up 
Oh make sure ecu is plugged in tho yeah?
