Re: [doc] finally driven her!!

[Martin Gutkowski <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm in the middle of a performance upgrade on a car in the shop and did 
the dizzy today. It was only after actually stripping it all out that I 
realised I didn't remember doing any of it! Kind of like when you get so 
used to driving that you arrive at B without remembering any of the 
drive from A. I can strip and intake manifold off in about 20 minutes 
but it will probably take a couple of hours to remove and replace if 
you've never done it before.

James RG worked out a real cheat way of doing this job if all you want 
to do is get the intake manifold out. I can do his method in about 10 
minutes, but getting the 4 bolts out accounts for probably half of that 
time!

It's very rare for the block to actually corrode through - but the state 
of the coolant pipe feeding the back of the pump is defintely something 
to check.
