Well,didn't get it started,ended up with almost a full days work so only got just over a hour to work on car.Took 20-30 minutes just to put drivers side header on and about 10 minutes of that was tightening the rear centre bolt,always a pain that one.Fitted passenger side to engine before i dropped it in.Just got to tighten exhaust at collectors,fit starter and radiator and get a new accelerator cable as i found that was ready to snap.
Might get thursday now before i get time to finish it.

All that hasselhoff taking the engine out and i still can't start it,my new starter that cost me almost £190 is knackered.Gonna phone real steel tomorrow see if they can get me a new gear,not buying another starter.Looked on manufacturers website but don't show that piece.

It did start a couple of times and sounded fine when it did.

Oh dear. Looks like the gears in the high torque mini starters aren't high torque enough to cope!

Thing is,i only bought it because i thought it was the starter motor causing my starting problems,so probably nothing wrong with the one i had on,that was only about 12 months old.
