Had a bit of spare time today so removed the O/S doughnut bush bastard to get the old one out, about an hour of grunting and banging before it gave up and came out. New one went in in about 5 minutes, N/S tomorrow

Waste of time, you will spend your money filling it with lovely shiny which you will spend countless hours cleaning and polishing and have no time to work on the omega. Wait it does look nice.....do they do it in black?

Would that be go faster black. Snap-off do.

Yes, how easey is it to clean the breathers on it and does is the HBV hidden down the back?

At last got the 2.5 started today and it sounded like a diesel for the first 10-15 minutes until the cleaned and serviced valve followers fully pressurised, temp came up to 95 degrees and stayed there and the heater worked - nice and toasty. No oil or water leaks. What a joy to have her running after 7 month on the drive and a head service and rebuild.
