Hey guys,
I am getting my new engine fitted in about 2 weeks. What I want to know is what I should have done while they are fitting the new engine?? So far I've got: 1. Change the timing belt on the new engine 2. Replace the rear main engine seal 3. I'm thinking engine mounts (can anyone confirm the part number for these??) Also, how many engine mounts are there? Do I only need to replace the front two or something??
And its getting an oil & filter change.
So yeh, anyone know about the engine mounts? And any other sugestions for things that should be changed.
Thanks Guys, the sooner the response the better, because I need to get onto ordering these parts.

Yeh, I'm doing the water pump now also. Dont even know what the belt tensioners are lol. They should be ok lol. I'm already stupidly stretched for money.

the tensioner is nothing to worry about ( its a hydraulic rod thing. and doesn't go dodgy like older cars that use springs) just make sure the bearing on the tensioner pulley is still smooth and it will be fine.
If your engine mounts arnt broken in half don't worry about replacing them. they can be changed easily enough at a later date when you have more cash. (if they are broken replace them ) and check the tranny mount while your at it.
Once in the car do a couple of oil changes every 2,500km's then go back to the usual 5,000km changes as you dont know how long the engine has been sitting around and its previous history etc.
that is about it! hope it all works out for you good luck!
