Job all done car back in the garage. This is one job i do not want to do again. But happy its done. A tuning garage i bet would have charged £400 to tap the block.
Next up clutch change and turbo kit on.
Part 1/3, stay tuned.

Part 2 bolt on all turbo parts, part 3 set up and mapping.
To be honest not being a mechanic, i am quite pleased.

You're dim.
We ended up using the gtir barb as its a better stronger barb with the same thread. Rtv all over and in she went.
Oiled up, water, antifreeze fire her up ..bingo
Just one question, the turbo is not going on just yet, so just looking for a suitable block pipe for the barb. We used a temp block pipe bung.
Suggestions?

Thanks.
I spent a good 45 mins scrapping the pans clean and removing all the old sealant marks, knocking out the dents.
Would a garage have done this?
Doubt it.
I am sure it may have been bodged together without me knowing what they did.
They could have even drilled into the mating surface without me knowing and just put it back together.
We had to be very careful on the drilling part.
Scary moment it was.

Cleaned under the block too before adding new rtv sealant.
Job well done.

I think the job took me longer because I was taking pictures throughout the whole process. Lol
Had to number and picture bolts as to what went where.
It was like a jigsaw puzzle putting it all back.

Lol it did actully end up like that near the end as I forgot which numbers as they looked different after dipping into spirit to clean oil.
Poor practice Liam. Those bolts are called shoulder bolts. They never go in the bin they get thrown over the left shoulder into a pile of rubbish / floor sweepings for safe keeping. They are especially handy for future mechanical works where you want to completely fuck the threads of something instead of looking for the correct bolt(normally hidden in the sump pan playing knockabout with the crank)
