    Anyone got some opinions about removing engine to do head gaskets and is it easier to pull the auto box out with motor or leave it in harder to line up when going back in

    up to rings and bearings and getting 6 pistons out of 12 that are good enough
    for rebuild eh

    No worries. It's easy to forget when you are focused on getting the heads on. Then fit the dipstick tube if you haven't yet.

    I have fallen into these traps lol

    Anti 14.7 x 14.7 = 44.1

    I've heard the the thermo housing can be modded to fit with good success, is there truth to that Niall?
