Hi all . Made a start , got the old girl all stripped down and spread all over the garage ! Got the new timing gears on .
Problem though , one of the oil pump cover bolts sheared on dismantling , sort of felt like it was going to ! Any hoo , that was yesterday about the time to knock it on the head for the day , wasn't too concerned , thought i'd drill it out easy today !!!
Filed it flat and punched it dead center , but i've let the drill run off center ( about 3mm into the casing ) I've given up on it at the minute to have a think . Not un salvadgeable yet but weighing up options .
Let someone have a go at it with more idea than me ( i feel a total t**t
)
Or an SD1 cover on the bay at the moment , will my oil pump upgrade kit fit the SD1 cover ?
Double or , anyone got a timing cover for sale ?
Thought everything was going too well , was hoping to take her down the prom for the first show of the year tomorrow , won't have the same impact going in the old mans transit :cry:
No sniggering guys . I'm gutted , and feel useless
, only helpful posts or ones that will cheer me up will be read
