So, I suppose I should post my slow and unmotivated progress. It's good I don't need the car really, means I can plod along at my own pace rather than rush around like I do all week.
I got this back from the machine shop yesterday, I love freshly skimmed alloy...
I'm still waiting on my MLS...
You will need a set of 64.1mm to 60.1mm spigot rings, probably a couple of degrees of negative camber and good knows how much stretch. I'd speak to phreebone if I were you.
His went back about 3 times to them in Normanton, and now 6 or so months later the paint is peeling, and a leak into the car has appeared around the repair area in the rear quarter.
I don't know how it works though.
Glad it's getting sorted Claire. As Jim says.
Hopefully it's not UKassistance or UKassist in Normanton repairing it. They churn out the shittest repairs ever, Soph's dad has had a lot of grief with them.
f**k that, if I'm off up buttertubs, I want something with decent brakes and handling. Not the body rolling can't stop failbus Soph calls her car ;)
Besides, I really should fix my car lol.
They're supposed to be higher than the block within a certain tolerance. What you don't want is them sinking. Might double check the tolerances though now you've said that.
Anyway, finally got a spare few minutes to check the liner heights, I need an MLS gasket. Missed the Xparts closing time...
Not sure if that coolant in cyl 1 is due to the HGF or just from moving the head.
Haven't dropped the sump nor cleaned the coke off the liners to know which gasket I need, lost all interest. Snapped a tube off the inlet manifold by the Throttle Body, and snapped my rear cam cover too FFS...
That's it, just taking my time and making sure I know where it all goes when I put it back together lol.
Cheers about the ride height. I've now got the OZs on and they're wider plus less offset, so it rubs on the rear again. Got some -1.5 deg camber plates to fit to solve that on the rear.
