The bottom end is now completely rebuilt, with new piston ring! and in the engine is now back in the car and on the later front cross member with the round engine mounts (that are easier to get new ones for)
Rebuilt Opel Manta A Series engine
The flywheel is now on with new ARP bolts from Risse motorsport in germany. (just a note that the ARP bolts are all the same size so you will need to have the locating one turned down a fraction to fit) The new clutch has been fitted again with high tensile cap head bolts as the standard ones were a bit old and not up to the job.
just the front cover to fit with the new timing chain and new tensioner and tensioner guides, then we will be ready for the head!
