Not a great deal to report today. Mostly removing ancillaries from the engine, and removing the centre exhaust silencer which turned out to have a hole in it. Luckily the excellent folk at A8parts had a full system in stock and were able to cut it to the exact length needed to fit with Vera's Supersport back box so dodged a bullet there!
I also removed the LPG injectors from the old engine. You can see the LPG adapters just underneath the original petrol injectors: Pretty neat little things actually, which save you from having to drill the inlet manifold. I don't like the way the fuel rail is suspended on nuts and bolts though so I will tidy that up  The old engine all nekkid  I had to adjust my engine and gearbox separatey thing to fit the manual gearbox Once the engine and 'box were split I cleaned up the gearbox and removed all the clutch fork stuff as that's all being replaced with new along with the clutch and flywheel. Lots of o-rings and things coming tomorrow so I can reattach all the original water pipes etc to the new engine and start putting it back together

The LPG is going back on the new engine although it'll run on petrol until its properly run-in.
The old engine is going in my A4 racecar. Since it only uses oil under 3000rpm, a track car is the perfect new home for it

Thanks MJ, your write ups are fascinating and I love seeing how you renew these cars.
