Now just waiting for insurance company to sort out the damage the thieving scum did to the body while they were trying to steal it.




Back to the engine, easy to work on, just think of it as 2 straight 4 cylinder engines joined at the hip. Just hope I have got the cam timing right or there will be some nasty noises

I hired the timing gear from E-Bay as it was going to be over £800 to buy, and also used the TIS manual, as it was not going to be possible to do it without. As for the final cost, I cant see how recon engines are advertised for £3000 as it costs that much for bits alone

Kept me out of mischief for a while though.
