Hi Iain Thanks for the encouraging comments. Do you know from your experience if the engine will go back in with the exhaust manifold pre-fitted?

[@iaindoole4060]

@@ianj3663 In my experience the manifold will require fitting after the engine is in place as the engine bay is too tight to manoeuvre it in place complete. I usually remove the n/s engine mount to gain some flexibility when fitting the manifold after the engine is in place.
