Red rallye Resto project (seats out)
#14
First off thanks for all the comment guys Smile appreciate it.

And the water pump is jammed solid with that bolt in there, I did try to get that bolt out to have a look, to see what type of bolt it is and find where it came from, but it's in there tight! So it will just stay there till the engines out.

The belt is absolutely fine, I do think there was a problem with the tensioner before hand though, as it shouldnt have ripped a hole in the block... It doesn't go to the water cavity. I think it was extra for the tentioner to bolt on too.

Does anyone have a picture of what it should look like with tenioner off?

Sorry I should have stated in the pictures that there was a hole there, and if you look at the teeth on the water pump there abit chewed too. The second picture was trying to show the hole.

I think it was about 6k when it happened dan, I know its going to be f*ckd, the engine was going to come out for a bit of paint anyway, even though the engine bay is clean as f*ck. no rust from what I can see but havent looked under the radiator yet.

I'm not to bothered about trying to get some cash back as it was a bit of a steal, and I'm happy with how clean an untouched the car is,1 bigish dent and some little ones here and there, but its awesome and had 1400 spent on a reconditioned gear box at 77k. It's so tight and smooth.
