hey guys just wondering if someone could tell me or point me in the right direction with engine mods.
basically im pulling my engine out to shave my bay so just need to no if there is a few cheapish things i could/should do to my engine whilst it is out of the car.
i thought this way would be better due to the fact that i kno things are easier to replace when engine is out.

any help will be greatly appreciated cheers

If theres any leaks in the areas of the following gaskets replace them while its out:

Sump duh: Sump gasket
Oil leaking through the hole between engine and gearbox : Rear plate gasket and rear main seal
Leaks at front of engine: Timing cover gasket

For looks only spraypaint block to match color of car, much easier to do while its out, and a bit of engine detail.
