Tut tut......no good for your blood pressure  ;D
But great for mouth ulcers - been rubbing salt on them all day. Smarts a bit, and numbs your mouth, and makes you dribble, but soothes after 30s of agony  :o

So I must say a sincere thank you to Jay_W, LFF64, Tunnie, Kevin Wood, Bo Bo, Sassanch, M_DTM, and in particular Omegatoy for your help in getting this far.  Also, thanks to everyone who has contributed in the forums :y



This project has been a forum saga, and I know many of you have probably felt involved in the twists and turns, so I would say another massive result for OOF :y

Edit: I forgot the first gearbox change, so thanks also to Laidback and JamesV6CDX  :-[

I only shout Brackley at the car now and it knows its own way there!!!! :y  Im just glad its finally running almost properly  ;D  and you had no need to thank me mate
was glad to help and it hasnt all been a one way street Ive had plenty of help from your good self and theres more to come yet!!! :y

Brilliant news TB, I still remember the day when we both fetched it, and it seemed a simple cure back then would get it running properly in no time ;)

That should be a good hint to anyone looking to take on an "easy" project.... things are not always what they seem ;)

Whenever you want to do your exhaust and crank sensor, you know where I am. As you know, I'm well practiced in intake and starter motor removal ;D.  I reckon the exhaust gaskets could be a bugger with those back 2 studs, but we'll get there!

How about rebuilding the old engine to 'as new' condition?

But then I'd need the tensioner that is currently embedded in you after your 'playing' ;D
