Nah drive it on.

On an old engine like that I mark it all up with tippex before the belt comes off. lines up when the belts back on then.

Well double check it. Just as its new doesn't mean it's fine. You can check the alt by getting an old belt and wrapping it around it and pulling the belt out like a yoyo, this spins the alt upto almost idle speeds.

Have you replaced the water pump?

It'll just be burning off the fluid.

Did you not mark it when you took it apart?

I made a tool for this, used a grinder spanner and welded on 2 bolts.

Same as the top 3

Was just about to say when I was out with Lesley I got her to hook 4th for it

FLOL! I was trying to out brake him at times. Nearly ended badly.

I was pinging off the limiter in 3rd(7850) if I didn't hook 4th for it. So I was doing it circa 100-110 on PE2's lol

Provided he has the genuine tools you can get him to do it. they are lumpy anyway. but that sounds like dephaser imo.

The tractors gone lol! Few pics from bedford:

Flol! Cheers, I'd be alot more comfortable if I'd done the track more I think I've just got rid of 1 shell lol, don't think I'll be allowed to replace it with another lol

Vikki said the latter. Lol.

Cheers mate, it felt really good. Only let down was my lack of talent and the road tyres!

Right well there has been a slight change of plan, I'm having to postpone the 20vt conversion. Reason being is the OH is selling her car, and will need a few months to save up towards her new one, so I suggested that I throw the engine from this in the cup as planned, take the suspension and...

Same as the others. Yes there should be 2 nuts

Your missing a sump one, and a nut

Top 3 go in the bottom between sump/box. The lowest 2 go in the very too of the bell housing Next 3 up go in the starter The last one I think goes just above the clutch fork

Yes. Was mentally fast too. Those 1.3 engines can really shift.

Yes.

There should be locating dowels in the block. if not Drop 2 head bolts down on opposite corners of the head. Make sure the gasket is on the right way too!

It's not a must, but highly recommended unless of course it's chattering away.

You may have also slid the column up, and then it's a real ball ache as its part of the crash protection, having a collapseable column.

The column hasn't slid over the rack. You may be able to get it on as it is or you may have to drop the subframe again.

I also have a guy who comes out to drill them out. He's brilliant. You could well get charged for it, as Unfortunatly it's part of the job. They do sieze and shear off very easily. I try not to get involved with them for this reason alone.

Nope. That still won't help you.

Sounds like battery

The rocker cover cannot be removed onless your take the cambelt off. The mount bracket can, support the engine from underneath and undo the 3 16mm bolts and 1 nut.
