New head all cleaned up and fitted. Fully torqued down, cams loosely in place. Have locked them and fitted the caps but still have to tighten them down.

Next job is to finish cleaning the lower half of the timing face and refit the chain etc and ideally get the timing cover glued back on.

Was going to say that looks like the feed to the slave cylinder. And that they're usually clipped in place.

The state of that fitting might warrant a new hose, but should be an easy fix and a good excuse for a brake fluid change

If the Vectra DIS pack is mounted in the same place as the Omega one then yes they should be a direct fit.

To my earlier post it may have been a snippet from the Rubin Report. Trying to find it I stumbled across this re Alberta...

If you'd kept your mouth shut until after the election in Canada, the result would have been different, and you might have got a more sympathetic ear. Never mind.

Part of it is because Trump wants Canada to become the 51st state of the USA....which many Canadians don't want.

Another element is the rebound from the welcome departure of 'woke tit' Justin Trudeau.

I think you would be surprised how many do want to be a part of the US. Especially in the West.

Indeed, Alberta in particular but also the NWT, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Without them Canada is little more than a refugee camp.

If they weren't so polite, Alberta could very easily be part of the US or even independent.

If the valves are still true, then reseat them, if not replace them.

Pistons will take much worse to be actually damaged

RIP Canada. 

Hasn't Carney just been found out for dubious financial dealings?

In which case Canada is even more screwed than they thought they were.

I haven't seen anything about this, but would anyone be surprised if it transpires that this is true, the media knew, but chose to keep quiet until after the election?   

I forgetwhere I saw it, possible that it popped up.in a feed something.

As ever, JP can be relied on to say exactly what he thinks on Carney...

Fixed. They're not the same thing.

Plugs out and pour a dash of oil into each cylinder and give it a couple of days to do its thing.

That it turned past 10 without too much effort is a promising sign... But unfortunately the way to confirm your suspicion is either with a borescope, compression test or removing the heads.

Spent most of today in the back of TPC trimming the liningbehind the rear seat and getting the headrest brackets swapped for the electric ones. Also swapped the rear belt buckles and centre belt ready for the electric seats. Got the main harness coming at some point in the next week and will be ordering the mounting hardware ready to bolt it all in. Need to source the headrests as well as they're different.

I have actually been entertaining the thought of a Motorhome recently.
I really am getting old ! 

Well, err, I was toying with hiring one next year and doing a 2 week tour around the top of Scotland.

I'm pretty certain camper vans ain't for me, so I suppose if I tried one for a holiday I'd know either way.

 Let's guess, going to do the fabled "500" with all the other wannabe Rob Roys, and try a bit of Haggis and have a wee dram..

 It isn't for you TB, trust me, all the tinkers bumbling along at 50mph, stopping without indication, O and you wait till they see anything bigger than a fly coming towards them.

I purposely wanted to avoid the 500, though any route covering that area is obviously going to follow bits of it.

Ironically, when I was up in the highlands last month, getting about was easy and fairly quick, despite a lack of roads.  Everyone drove at the speed limit, or pulled over after a mile or 2, bar the odd camper van.  That ease of getting about, added to the fact the scenery is breathtaking, is why I half considered a passion wagon for a trip up there again.  The area is too vast to have a single base to do day visits out.

The alternative would be being organised to have hotels booked and a strict itinerary, but that's not how we holiday.

Altnaharra and straight up to the Kyle of Tongue should avoid the worst of the west coast traffic No shortage of guest houses and camp sites around that end of the world and Orkney is well worth a few days of your time whilst there.
