Rockers '6 Is back

[rocker8742]

Got in a fair few was probably out just under 1hour30 fairly constantly

Tyres were awesome very grippy and gave plenty of confidence didnt even feel like I was pushing them tbh will definitely be using them again

[rocker8742]

In its place ready for the work to start

[ozonehostile]

Good man, got a new engine sorted?

[rocker8742]

Sat in the garden ready to go in matey

[rocker8742]

Well almost need to for the new mounts to it and do the cambelt while its out

[callumcull]

Shame about cooking the engine mate, hopefully shouldn't be too long to get the new one in [GRINNING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

Did you find the baker bm linkages made much of a difference over the oem ones?

[rocker8742]

They seem a bit tighter but tbh I didn't get them very tight on fitting as I was rushing so can't comment really

[rocker8742]

Was looking at the matrix pipes today, and was thinking the clip looks like its not seating properly anyone have a picture of how it's supposed to seat

Or a part number and price for that clip?

[Frosty]

It doesn't look like the o ring has gone in as it should which means the pipes haven't gone right in so the clip won't seat as it should

[rocker8742]

Just more force then ?

[Frosty]

Not massive force, have the o rings half way down the heater matrix pipes going in and have some lube/spray on the o rings to help them slide in

[Piggy]

Get some lube or fairy liquid on them!

[Toms306]

Yeah you need to lube them up, I made the mistake of no lube and too much force which didn't end so well...

[mr_fish]

Seen few photos on facebook...this running yet though??

[rocker8742]

Not yet, doing a few bits while the engines out new one will probably go in next weekend

[rocker8742]

Bit of an update, new engine went in this weekend just needs to be connected up and put everything back together

Few little bits done while its been out, new baker bm engine mounts, new clutch and throttle cables, new clutch bushes, new clutch, new cambelt, new cv boot and a full service will be done once its running again also cleaned up a lot of stuff in the bay and freshly painted a few bits.

Starting to come together now

[Eeyore]

Sounds awesome man. bet youll be glad to have it back on the road. I imagine it will feel a lot better with all that work done to it! Good luck and see you on track at forge action day?

[rocker8742]

I'm looking forward to it mate, will be nice to have some power back lol

And should be back on track at the next action day maye

[rocker8742]

Started first turn of the key tonight

[Stevo-trendy]

Good project thread just skimmed through looks like lots of hard work going into it & some nice simple mods as well that really complement the look of it ! Top work keep it up

[Niall]

Good stuff mate. Always satisfying when after a major job, it just works!

Now don't cook this one lol

[rocker8742]

Thanks guys and lol yeah this one wont be getting quite the same treatment as the last

Very satisfying that its running again though

[Piggy]

Congrats mate...excited to get it back in daily use?

[rocker8742]

Yeah tbh it won't be in daily use anymore as I've got the diesel aswell so it's going to slip into a weekend role

[mr_fish]

glad to hear its running again mate, could of sorted you out an XUD engine though instead

[rocker8742]

Haha nah I needed some nice n/a power again mate

[Eeyore]

---

Of course

[Eeyore]

Ill see you out there!

[rocker8742]

Well she's home, few teething issues but she's booked in for mot at 10.00

Had a leaking injector yesterday because the seal had split so replaced that and have also got a leak from the gearbox which I think could be coming from the driveshafts so is probably the seals

In the bright side is brilliant to drive as its had new clutch and throttle cable, new clutch, new clutch bearings, baker bm engine mounts and gear linkages
