  1. How much posted, and are they all there? any damage? cheers .
  2. Can any1 help at all? i need it to be roadworthy by next weekend
  3. Well i have bent 8 valves when my timing chain slipped due to a self loosening tentioner bolt And ive been looking around and arround, but i cant find a good deal on some new valves, can anyone help me?
  4. So will it be running really really badly and sound like its on one clynder?
  5. Im pretty sure i don't, i have checked the timing 3 times now because i really did think it was the timing. Wouldnt i hear alot of piston valve contact if i had it 180 degrees out tho? with the plugs out ofcource?
  6. So to sum it all up, over the past couple of weeks i have slowly done a head re-build and changed all the chain guides. I have now put the whole thing back together and when i went to start it was very lumpy as if it was on only 2 clynders. Obviously i took of the rocker cover again and timed it up again, but still the same problem! Any body have any ideas as to what it could be? Its as if the engine just doesnt want to start, and if it does its totally not firing properly. Thanks in anticipation, rob
  7. Yeah i have don this job recently and you need to take the box, clutch, flywheel and lower cover off and then the tentioner guide will just slip off its a hell of a job for such a simple little piece.
  8. I must have read that thing three times now, but cheers mate, it looks like that is the only way round it im still wondering weither i will have enough room to just lay the box on the floor with it all linked up still tho ?
  9. So im half way through my rebuild and i have kept the engine in the car because i did not have the money to buy an engine stand and i also thought i wouldnt need to be doing too much work, but id finished with my head, new seals, bit of a cleanup n that, and i go to put it all back in and i realised i needed to replace both upper chain gide rails as one had snapped and the other was broken by me My question is, is there and easier was to fit the upper tentioner guide, the one that is on a pivot? I am just about to start to take the box,clutch and fly wheel off so i can get to it Do you recon
  10. Cool cool. its always an option down the line i guess. In the meantime im just collecting together all the hardware for the build
  11. 32 mpg on motorway at 70mph ish and 17-19 round town and back roads aha.
  12. Allthough, realistically, i will start on 6 or 7 psi, but i doubt that will be for more than an hour or so aha
