Engine installation
My mate Matt from round the corner gave me a hand with the install. You could do this on your own but having two people to watch all the angles and apply pressure in the right places makes it a lot easier.
It's definitely worth hacking off the old power steering pump mount from the side of the oil filter mechanism before install. I had to do it near the end as the engine just physically wouldn't drop into the hole.
Removing the brake servo and steeing column extension is also a must. With these things out of the way and a lot of up and down to clear things it goes in pretty smoothly but clearances all round are very tight
