On the TDI 200 I used an electric impact wrench, which removed the bolt without having to hold the flange. It's another option.

Cheap cutlery trays work for me.

Plus the huge factor of surplus electric at night costs virtually nothing. This, alone, overcomes the inefficiencies of charging a battery to charge a battery. When renewables dominate the supply having batteries will really help moderate the grid.
-
thanks all, I'm learning, slowly.
-
Total topic change. How fast do lambda sensors react? If the mixture is too rich, will the sensor know instantly? Assuming the ECU knows what it is doing, of course. Just curious.

Got all that stuff, Inc laptop in the workshop. I'm really looking forward to this.
-
I like the idea, but I'm not doing high miles and it's mostly leisure and sorry commute driving, so best stick with the BP ultimate, it's the long term safe bet. Though in 30 years time I might be on the veg oil! I've a spare pump I might send to diesel Bob so he can make it veg compatible. Someday....
-
Ah, veg oil. Gotcha. Tempted to but the occasional litre in the TDI, but I prefer to use the good diesel instead. One breakdown would wipe the savings, for the miles I do.
-
Not entirely true, very rare but they did make them for commercial 2a vehicles for a short period. I'll see if I can find the article. No caps.

What's HVO?

The EBay Christ I fancy that 4x4 + its cheap thread

It would make a great RV. Modern diesel and box, serious sound insulation. Leave the paint as is. -

I understand. That could be an amazing vehicle. I need to do the lottery. -

Are motors going to change much? Musk was hinting at significant changes in his cars electrics for this year, but how much can you do with a copper wound motor, I wonder?
-
Thanks. I was hoping to just use the inspection holder in the flywheel housing, I think that's not going to work. I'll look again when I get the engine assembled. I'm picking up the head tomorrow, it's been cleaned and the valves set up.
-
Thanks for the offer, I have one, from years ago.
-
Yes, I'll use brake cleaner, and dress the threads, and I used pipe when I was taking the pistons out, figured that one fairly quick. It's a good tip, thanks.
-
Assembly lube? How is that different from normal stuff? I've all the rest, except the plastic gauge, which I'll get.
-
SD1. 4.6 V8. Ahhhhhh!! Sorry. I needed a quiet moment to my self.
-
Thanks. I'll see if I can put a trigger wheel on the back of this flywheel. If I can get it to fit, then it would give me cam and crank, if I ever go fancy MPI. Once I've the engine built I'll see if I've got clearance. How thin are these sensors? 5mm, 10mm?
-
Thanks, fogging oil, sounds ideal to spray on the whole Landrover! I've a decent stand, extended it 18 inches so it's at a useful height. Thanks.
-
Thanks for this, I've splashed out and copied you.
-
How focused is a crank sensor "field of view"? If I stuck a trigger wheel on the back of this flywheel, would the sensor be distracted by the ring gear? Just asking.
-
Yes? No? That's be an ecumenical matter.
-
Possible. I suppose. I hope to get a 4.6 V8 in a bit, I'll see if I can get the trigger wheel from the flywheel, it might fit.
