Wow...
I was thinking more on the lines of just measuring hur far down from the splitline between the sump and block the Min mark is and be happy with that.
The AN12 oil return from the turbo needs to be changed, the hose will be about 50mm long and needs to be angled about 45*. Not going to happen. Anyone that has fitted an AN coupling will know this to be impossible to even fit when properly assembled...
Tried to assemble the AN4 teflon line for the oil feed. Haven't felt that kind of rage in a while... Maybe pay someone to make it for me will be better for my health.
On the other hand...
The manifold is done!!!!!
It's now fitted to the engine and it looks and fits great. A bit tight to the engine mount but the EGT-sender is well clear. So will the brake and clutch MC be when everything is in the car. Not something you can say about the original position, quite the opposite.
Snapped some pics of the exhaust gaskets, this is not news for anyone who test fits everything before torquing it down but it's still a heads-up for anyone. Had to grind away a few millimeters to be sure it won't enter the exhaust tract. The pics are in the most favourable position, if its pushed down-back it protrudes a good 1.5-2mm into the exhaust stream. What about changing the tooling for this part? no?
Maybe I should drop the whole thing into the engine bay this weekend? Then I can start to add stuff to the engine and wire it up.

Also need to figure out the positioning of some parts like ignition coil, breather tanks and such. Fuel and oil lines anyone?
