4 Days work and it's sill not on the road unfortunley
Wasted most of sunday trying to get the timing belt on and the timing marks correct. Helped when I realised I was setting the timing marks straight with the floor rather than straight with the engine. Also took me another day to realise that because the head hadn't been skimmed but a thicker mls gasket was fitted the timing marks would be a bit off. This results in the crank being about half a tooth out to allow the belt to fit but as seen before it somehow ran 6 teeth out so think there'll be some tolerance there. No doubt this will lower the compression somewhat although this should pay off in the reduce chance for knock in the remapping stages
Monday ended with me filling her with coolant only to have it pour straight back out the thermostat housing after that I lost it and went home
