This engine doesn't have the mounts for a bus engine support bar, so I'll need to use an adapter. However, I don't think there is enough thread left on the stock studs to make this viable, and just fitting the adapter (without the VW oil cover) looked like it would leak loads, so I fitted longer studs.

naked pump

using the two nut method to remove

longer stud fitted - these have a handy allen head so can be screwed in.

All four fitted

However, these are too long ...

So I removed them and cut off about 10mm, then screwed back in to check

Much better

Mounted a lot more solidly now, with Nylocs too.

Also dug out some cruddy J-Pipes to use

new fittings though

Geting there

A lot of this engine is second hand / swapmeet stuff

more j-pipe

I have a spare engine bar somewhere that i'll offer up to check clearance.
