_Luke_ Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Hey there after all the time of me thinkin my 19j engine was goin to self combuste it has been given a new lease of life. the problem was that the tappet had tried to chew its way out of the engine which occured in the past from a gradual cam belt failure( not my fault) how ever after changing all of the phosphorus bronze slides it is like driving a completey diffirent car and im proud to drive my landy once more ( it got a bit embrassing when i couldnt see behind me when i was driving in the day!!) so now i have plenty of time to save for a 200 tdi to drop in eventually but now my project is drawing to a close ill post the pictures of the tappet slides when i can figure it out it should be a laugh to some people cant belive how lucky i am could have been a hell of a lot worse ill try and get pics up when i think about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Thomson Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Dear Santa, I have been a good boy this year. Please for my Christmas will you bring me a big box of assorted commas and full stops, so I can make some parentheses and sentences. Thank you very much. Love _Luke_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gruntus Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Graham your a git! Luke, thats the forum spirit !! posting up fixes is excellent rather than just questions from people and not always getting feedback of resolution when problems are solved (damn not enough punctuation!). Looking forwrad to the pictures...... Cheers G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Nice one Luke, it's always nice to find that it's a relatively simple fix Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bean Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 It could be worse... It could have been written in text speak! That is a real pet hate of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
