Today it was time to bring the old lady to the garage for some treat and cleaning before the engine will be mounted!
I have some stuff i want to sort out before i fit the engine. Cleaning is the biggest part, also change some hooses and rubber cover for the steering rack.
Hopfully i will order a brand new turbo next week, then i think i have all parts for it =)

Car loaded on the trailer for the drive "home", luckily no police was out today! (I have not the right licens to haul this heavy trailer)

Engine bay cleaned with heated pressure washer.¨ and some degreaser, turned out pretty good. Hopfully i will sort out where all cables and hooses should be

Thanks for the engine install advises!

Got some fresh bolts and brackets back from galvanizing, most for the oil cooler fitting. Also bought some stainess hose clamps, as close to factory i could, most fittings will be "one eared" hose clamps:

Next week i will hopfully take the car on a trailer back to my/the fathers garage and start cleaning the engine bay. Then it's time to fit the engine. A order on a new turbo will be made next week, genuine KKK24 7200 Rs2 turbo.

When working alone I always use belt/straps wrapped over engine mounts.
When working with friends - just a big wheeljack and 2-3 pair of hands.

Cant find pictures when I did it but I think I lifted it on inlet runners (protect the paint) and maybe the EM?
I attached a chain hoist to the front of the engine to get a tilting point.

Definitely would remove rad to have some wiggle room when installing.

Garage night today!
Painted the things i sand blasted yesterday. Then i started to put some more parts on the engine. I will remove some things when i mount the engine, but i want to check so everything fits. It's little of a mess with all bolts when you don't remove them yourself. Even with etka as help it's time consuming. They dont show everything in the right way, luckily we also have help from the internet

The parts painted and dry:

I'm starting to feel that its soon time to get the car from storage to the garage for some cleanup before the engine can be fitted.
One thing that i recognized is that the ABY/ADU engines don't have the lifting point in the back of the engine. My AAN have both front and back lifting points. How do you guys lift this engine in the car?
My thought was to remove the intake manifold and mount the bracket i have from my AAN engine and then it should be ok. Whats your opinion/options for this? It feels tight with the AC condenser and radiator mounted in the car, do you think they will be in the way when the engine is going back in?

More stuff done today. Stripped the oil cooler/air guide/brackets and blasted the stuff. The oil cooler have seen better days but will work. Also did the starter. Tomorrow i will put some paint on it. Yesterday i blasted and painted a steering pump that i bought some weeks ago, only wanted a hoose but i bought the whole pump just to have one spare and spare hooses. The nuts and bolts to the stuff will be galvanized yellowish, leaving it tomorrow.

It's broken off normally there is a hole in it and a rubber in the hole. It holds the ground cables for the engine. Had that on my rs2 also broken and damaged the intake hose.

Was at the car today to remove the oil cooler and starter motor for overhaul. I have a bracket on the oil cooler mount that seems to be broken but i can't find out via etka and google what it should look like... Maybe some one here knows what it is?

The item marked in red is what i want to know, whats it for? whats it should look like:

Waiting on the money to get my new RS2 turbo.. Meanwhile i've got back my gearbox/engine mounts from anodising. They were raw aluminium when i got them. Turned out nice i think! Without anodising they would look wery unhappy in a couple of years. Better safe than sorry

Not much have been done since the vaccation. I have been moving to a bigger apartment as well, so money and time has been priored to this at the moment..
But! Today i bought the last missing piece of my door trims that were missing for some strange reason. Was not easy to find them all, but at last =) Will take a moment until next update, i need a new tubo, saving up for it now. When the turbo is home, i think i have it all to assemble the car!
