Back on the road!

[Murv]

Huge thanks to Mac, as always, for providing garage services and expertise and to Steve (sorry mate, forgot your forum name again) for help and general p1ss taking.
Two long weekends, but it's all done and running like a dream.
I mainly just held spanners and got shouted at, but did manage to fix an electrical fault by changing the oil filter (don't ask)
We only had to change one part to get it running again, but as that part was the engine, it was a big job!
Huge thanks again, top bloke for giving up so much time to help out, having his tools abused and suffering endless p1ss taking from the Essex chapter!

Don't break this one...

Good news and fair play to all those involved, great sense of camaraderie on this forum.

Did you stick a plastic bag anywhere on this one? Or did you take my advice and place one over your head!

Paper bag!


All holes stuffed by the seller of said engine were removed prior to instalation...

I did have to tell Murv a couple of times to stuff paper down the cam chain tunnel when removing the Cam Chain top cover... At least one bolt fell gently into the soft folds of paper... I may have raised my voice slightly when telling him the second time...

You must have the patience of a Saint, faced with Reg Prentice and his junior less gifted apprentice. For those not old enough check out Kenny Everetts DIY expert!
