welcome to the club I have a 2ltr for sale with mods it is in the for sale section but shipping may be expensive and it is still in the car until end of september

best thing you can do is get a bestek ignition so you do away with vacuum advance so just servo to number 4 plus the bestek ignition will give more power to complement your fast cam and bike carbs

after a test drive clutch stopped working got that sorted oring failed at gearbox also bad oil leak coming from back of engine and that's wright yet another oring this time on the oil feed pipe for the turbo got that sorted whent on another test drive and !@~@!& no faults no leaks yipeee

back to engine rebuild luckily still got pertractor that came with kent cam used that to retorque head bolts on herbie had to go to 25nwt then 213 deg bit of a game when engine on floor had wrestle the engine whilest beeing torqued up

sorry I mean improvisers

after the success of donnington why not another challenge like scrapheap challenge with all the bodgers in this club it would a brezee

thanks for the offer mark will see how it goes buckets as you call them I call them hydraulic tappets from my days at rover then you had to reshim buckets are just as anoying

also worked out a way of takeing head off without remouving engine so any future head problems wont be so time consumeing

hydrolic clutch had to convert my cental heating dosing bottle to clutch pressuriseing bottle did the job clutch works had to back fill ! plumbers term ! till fluid overflowed resovoir

herbie rides again took the van for a shake down drive today hydrolic clutch a pain in the rectum engine a bit tappedy did not replace buckets but all in all ok can get back to work now and earn the money for my far more important zetec conversion on the 2b

rebuilt engine today start fitting it back in van tomorrow got all the bits from euro car parts eventually good discount but when you start ordering lots of engine parts they start to get a bit confused as I have learned if they have to order something make sure that they have orderd what you have asked for, kids pushing buttons on comps disaster in the making

do they have a throttle sensor on them

will do cheers mark

hey mark is best to get new head bolts aswell

ill just rebuild wot ive got cant see any other damage apart from bent valves

the guides are ok the one valve that weren't bent used that to check them all
