there's loads of info, but basically a cup packed 182 is fully spec'd, a 182 cup just has crap seats and bad headlights, and a few other weight savings (not as much as a 172 cup)
I'd expect to add 1-1.5 hours to change the PAS pump at the same time. There's quite a bit of bracketry and it's a messy job. The water pump assessible whilst doing the cambelt.
WHAT???? i've never seen that after using many many sets of non "standard spec" plugs. Only possible reason for that I can think of would be using non resistor plugs.
Rough running in most cases is down to using the wrong spec or a s**t make like champion, and people who dont understand...
the bit where the upper mount bolts to the pulley cover just needs a spacer with an angle cut on it then bolt it together.
the lower part of the pulley cover needs a bracket attaching that also bolts to the front of the head. A piece of angle iron with holes cut in the right place and a couple...
so who was faster round Bedford then? ;) with a passenger....and pagid blues :dead:
FWIW I like 4-pots, but it has to be a pretty modded car driven pretty hard. I do like the fact they give more even disc wear also
you need an angled spacer. Also you really need to re-enforce where the bolt that would go into the lower inlet is now missing. I've made up brackets to take up this play, but they're always 1 off
You have a couple of options. I prefer to fully remove the subframe when there's a ramp available just because you have such a lot more access. Some drop the subframe a long way down on 1 side, never tried that one myself. Pulling the engine out the top with the box still attached is another...

not that one was it?
you're getting standalone already. it's not an issue, you'll only use stock ecu to run the rev counter and temp gauge
buy a pedal , make a bracket (it bolts on different) buy a throttle cable. done
