two quick questions

[Josh_gsy]

1. is there a reason i shouldnt use studs instead of bolts in my inlet mainfold.

 

2. the rod that pushes the bit on the side of the gearbox that may operate a lever nside has fallen out during my engine transplant is this a bad thing?

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

you can use either studs or bolts dont think it makes any difference

 

what rod are you on about

[Josh_gsy]

thats worrying!

erm there is a lever that comes out the side gbox that i think moves the clutch release bearing. and my hydraulic stuff for the cluct leads to a cylinder infront of the lever. below that rolling along the floor i found a rod and a rubber grommit/seal looking thing!?

its not good when yopu have spare bits as usually everything is needed
