get it done
Give BBI Autosport a call, they have a complete weld in kit that they use on their large liter and race engine builds. Labor is very extensive and all must be addressed ( oil cooler console pipes fail as well ) all Turbo GT3 GT2

J-P,
Sorry to hear about all of the other things you found. That is one of the hidden costs of these repairs - the little things that are waiting to be found when you get into it.
But didn't you have your motor out before? You've posted lots of photos of a motor outside the vehicle.

Rep Power: 266 JP - if those problems were not present would it be possible to access all of the fittings for pinning without engine removal? I would imagine the 3 on the water pump housing could be done or the housing removed. The pipe with the coolant temp sender with 1 fitting should be accessible. Removing the power steering pump bracket would give access to 1 or 2 fittings and the coolant manifold has 2 or 3 - not sure how many, but this may be the challenging piece. If you think it is possible I may attempt and put a DIY together for others to follow.

Yes it is possible. I already remove the exhaust assembly to to that. After the exhaust is removed you have to support the engine and remove the engine carrier (Page 529 of the repair manual) And after the housing can be removed....

Hi JP,
Thanks for the PM , Ive not been online for a while. my new Classic Camper hire company has taken a lot of my time. Sorry to hear of all these problems.
Don't worry about the promise to try the coolant pipes with the engine in.lol I hope you just get them fixed OK. Good post this , sorry your having other issues with the car. Looks like some bad workmanship in the past
My engine is back out again, the MKB box has an issue so has gone back to Germany. i will have a chat with Ken and see what can be done with my pipes. I like the idea of pining if it can be done without disassembling the engine to do it.

Here's a picture of the engine out but I wanted to show the stand that I bought to facilitate the work. Support up to 1100 pounds and the table is about 19" by 32". It was $676.00 free shipping and of course a bit cheaper I think for US of A....

2. Have you left the transmission in the car?
Thanks,
Frank

Working too hard may be Frank!!!!For question #1 , I have installed a Maxjax last summer . I had to redo the floor with the mandatory Fc = 3000psi (Strength of concrete)... In my case we put 5000 psi to be sure I got good anchorage even if I always wear a hard hat
