The hardest bit will be removing the plunger if it's stuck. If you look at the picture of the  pump on ebay at the mo you can clearly make out the two tork heads along the top of the pump. There's a link in a previous post of mine You need the smaller of the two just above the hole for the crank to come through

A pic in here shows it to the right of the bottom idler, below a stud that unscrews, that holds the cam cover in place.

Looks like I need a favour from the experts! 

[feeutfo]

Ya better tickle TB up then.

[feeutfo]

Should add I have a local members gaskets plugs and leads to do yet, so won't be immediate.

[tunnie]

No rush, but it's something I want to sort

I don't have an engine lift here, so that's that plan out.

You want an engine frame (long bar with two tall feet, sits on the inner wings, chain to the engine and then wind it up on the bolt).. I have one here in the garage you're welcome to come use/borrow. There's a 2tonne engine crane, too, if the engine has to come out at any point.

Shhh! 

[aaronjb]

Sorry, am I giving you one less way to get out of the job? 

[feeutfo]

Seeing as you have the tools already...

[aaronjb]

Crap! I walked right into that one.. 

[feeutfo]

I don't think it's worth that amount of agro tbh.

Cirtainly not yet . Let's see what transpires...


Could always stick a v8 in it?

[aaronjb]

I've got a V12 going spare..

[tunnie]

I'd love a V8 in there 

V12 might be a bit tight

Having stripped all the plastics etc off the 12 last night, you're not wrong! I now know why Jags have bonnets where the length is measured in weeks, not inches
