and a random group a air filter i had luying about

Image

then got onto the engine
started off with this
Image

new end cover seal
crank and intermidiet cam seal
new water pump annd seals
swaped over sumps and pick up pipes
new timing belt+ tensioner
re fitted everything
quick pain on the block

u might see that the car has alot of lock.... ive made washers to space the bump stops in the rack all i need to do now is get the alignment set up a bit better and test it out

i also wire up my wide band lambda and started running llpg pipes but ill explain that more later on once i finished it :wink:

Make sure you do not have any rev limiter or you will get a big bang if you hit it! :!: :!:

Over the year I've had a lot of folk come to me with smashed up air intakes, blown up manifolds, damaged mixers and vapourisers due to backfires from rev limitrs amoungst other things.
