My aim is to make everything new, or to near new as possible. I'm starting with the crank and pistons.

Here's a nice little drawing of the block off the Punto CD. I can see that coming in really handy! The CD that is, not the dawing:



I have also placed all the diagrams and drawings off the CD on my fotki account:

I tried out my service CD for the Punto too, it's quite good actually.]]> http://www.spillers-knights.co.uk/hgt/index.php?entry=entry080531-133804
Piston ring compressors
28pc Tap and Die set
1/2" Torx Rail (up to T70)
1/2" 36mm Impact Socket
1/2" Deep Sockets (10, 11, 12 & 13mm)
1/2" Allen Sockets
1/4" Deep Sockets (4,5,6,7,8,9,10 & 11mm)
Combination Spanners to fill up the set i'm missing (16, 18 and 20mm)
Digital Vernier
Couple of rails to store them all on.

Some Tool Cleaner, Kurust and some high temperature paint.

I also got the service CD for the mk2 Punto. I haven't checked it out yet, but I think it will hold everything I need to know, I hope!!]]> http://www.spillers-knights.co.uk/hgt/index.php?entry=entry080529-223040


I'm thinking that I should also send some other bits to be acid dipped and re-coated. I'm not sure?

Any idea's on what colour I should go? I'm thinking Black?]]> http://www.spillers-knights.co.uk/hgt/index.php?entry=entry080529-180718


Seen a decent one on eBay for £125, think I might invest.

Need to get a new/bigger torx bit for the head bolts as mine doesn't go that high.]]> http://www.spillers-knights.co.uk/hgt/index.php?entry=entry080529-180309 http://www.spillers-knights.co.uk/hgt/index.php?entry=entry080526-150519
I got an Engine stand via Machine Mart and borrowed a hoist from a friend.
Took the gearbox off, it's now on the stand ready to be stripped.



Flywheel is off so that can be sent away to be lightened

Also got the new connections for the compressor.]]> http://www.spillers-knights.co.uk/hgt/index.php?entry=entry080407-140000 There is a couple of inperfections in the finish, but that is due to some of the transport and probably the price I got it for! Bargain!

But back to work!!]]> http://www.spillers-knights.co.uk/hgt/index.php?entry=entry080324-053804
In:




Out:



*Notice how much oil is all over the floor, I thought i'd drained it all but it doesn't appear so*

Alls needed now is to take the other little things off and get rid of the shell, which should be happening next weekend. 4 Years of that punto will be gone forever. I need an engine stand.]]>
