ok,
ive run into another problem
how do i remove the carry f10a dipstick tube?
the sierra f10a has a different dipstick design and therefore a different length..etc
need to swap the carry dipstick + tube in, in order to read the correct oil level
thanks
Sierra f10a into super carry

dipstick tube was a very tight interference fit
ended up removing it with a bit of heat from an oxy torch
assembling engine today
and possibly installing back in
good stuff upg bet your keen to get it installed today
....its not miles per gallon its smiles per gallon....

i will continue documenting this process as much as possible so others know what is involved in the swap
there is a casting for a bolt on the maruti engine block which need to be cutoff/ground off to allow clearance for the water pipe
it will become obvious what needs to be removed when you go to bolt on the water pipe but i will upload pics showing what to do
apart from that, everything else is as per manual
engine has been bolted back in
just need to connect everything up and fill up with oil/coolant
