Phinx, you feel like going to give a fellow SX driver a hand? I'm happy to go with you...

Hey M.I.G
What was the reason for stripping in the first place? I am thinking it would be best to remove motor from body first and then strip (depending on what needs to be done).

You are wasting your time if the engine is still in the car. If its out of the car I will happily rebuild it for you if you drop it off at my shop.

Well the car's inlet manifold gasket & head gasket kicked the bucket causing overheating ( well that is what they explained to me)
anyways I thought while I am opening this engine I might as well do the rings & bearings aswell ( you can't go wrong with that

) seeing that I am not so gentle with that car

I kind of figuered last night about removing the engine .. took me forever to do anything .. been removing the air pipes , some electrics, water pipes, to get it out..

found out something interesting though.. through out the cars life it has been serviced by nissan.. I see now that the was no nuts holding the engine on the engine mounts.. hmmm wonder if nissan would of compinsated if engine fell out on some idel drive..
