Thanks mate,
I sort of realised in my usual dazed stupor that this was a new model forum after I joined, but I like the look of the new ones so if you don't mind, I'll stick around. The golden oldie I have is undergoing a sort of renewal after it had a cylinder head mishap. mechanical types will recognise that trying to clean up a 28 year old diesel rates right up there with other extreme sports like hitting yourself in the head with a hammer.
This is the timing case that has a piece of steel pipe put in the outlet with filler putty by the previous owner (a wonderful pressie) new timing case is almost ready to be installed.
New head is ready to go on injectors cleaned out valves lapped in new seals etc
Rocker cleaned up and showing that there actually is alloy in these motors
I don't have a whole vehicle pic yet, but it's not very pretty yet and still wanting a re-paint.
