Good work jew boy.

Engine looks brand new inside!

[Adam]

Not bad for 300 000 km

(I think it's my engine haha)

Been a big week.

 

Timing belt finally done. I stupidly let this get way way overdue. And I haven't done it in the time I've owned it. Surprisingly, the belt didn't look too worn so I dodged a bullet on that one!

 

Cam seals and Valve cover gasket replaced too.

 

 

Decided to let the pros handle this one.

 

Next was to get the heater core sorted. What a job. It's not hard, but just time consuming. On the plus side, I fixed a rattle, unsecured airbag. and tidied up some wiring from some aftermarket accessories. Very happy with how it all turned out. And my heater is so hot it could melt your skin!

 

how many k's on the body? I think I changed the belt (when I put the motor in) at around 135-140

[Barbbachello]

Enjoy the heater. Mine goes from cold air to nuclear reactor in the space of 1cm haha

The new up pipe looks good in that pic.

So much work done in the last few weeks, well done.

[Adam]

Lol. 330k, Alex.

190k out of a gates belt! (and people bag the gate's belts haha!)

[Adam]

There was still writing on the belt!

[Scuba-Roo]

I cant believe you did the hearer core yourself and not the timing belt. I know which one id prefer haha!

Good stuff anyway

[Adam]

The bit that worried me was removing the cam wheels to do the seals, and just getting the timing right.

The heater core wasn't hard. It was just annoying.

good stuff adam 

just goes to show these cars go forever when you look after them 

[Adam]

Seems a bit smoother? I dunno really. Haven't had much chance to really have a good go. Also think I need to change my plugs or there's still a bit of water around because there's a bit of a miss.

Started this way too long ago.

Didn't order enough parts, stuffed around and took my time. But it's finally running again. I won't say done because there's a lot of parts I intended on painting but needed to just get the car running.

Intake off, stripped, wrinkle red, all rubber fuel lines replaced, gaskets replaced, coolant bypass mod, silicone intake.

Intended to get the injectors cleaned. But again, ran out of time. Replaced the pintle caps because I cracked one when it popped out of the rail.

Replaced power steering pump. Still seems to be sucking air. It could be the rack.

I'm still trying to chase this strange misfire. Fine at 14 ish psi. Pump up to 18 and it just goes flat. Replaced plugs, can't hear a boost leak. Need to check leads and coil pack.

Also finally got an unbroken cup holder and polished up the woodgrain

[Adam]

Thats me done for the year

[Hypnotic]

And 6 speed.

 

Looking good. Glad it's mostly back together. Don't think I would be able to take another week of your complaining.

[Robert]

And Brembos

Nice work 'dam. Glad it's all gone back together.
