    How did you get it out? If its a Type 1 engine you'd struggle to get it out with engine in. Best to drop the engine and get it in that way.
     
  3. hy the garage that done welding work took it out with the heater,, just got it in this morning, very very tight squeeze but couple swear words and its in,, just tons of wires now lol happy days
