Les Henson Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Got the inj pump back today after getting it checked it's working ok after spending a year or so under a sheet of plastic, so now the new timing gear is fitted, head torqued/angled down, and a few other bits. Still waiting on a set of flywheel bolts which there seems to be a national shortage of at present Just need a 130 plate and B&B cover, and the turbo rebuilt and it's all done. Pictures taken this evening after another stint in my inventing shed Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
