New Cam carrier gasket on,
and with a bit of help from mike1988 got the the cam carrier back on, timed it all up and was ready to fire up, If the battery was charged that was :-D.
Was about to start some of the painting when as I was looking underneath I noticed that the front cross member, the paint was flaking off, rather badly to the point that you could run your thumb nail and the paint came off. So wire brush, cleaned nicely and a fresh coat, now looks 10 times better
While I had the paint out I carried on with a few of the other areas
Next day stuck the battery on and vroom. So thats a few steps closer to being back on the road.
Now to tackle the leaky oil filter housing which is going to be a slight pain as it is also an engine mount. But hey whining doesn't get me anywhere, so I plan to sort that out next week sometime.
And Look what arrived in the post this moring.
Nothing exciting, the gasket for the oil filter housing.
But look............Shiny Shiny
My new stainless steel brake hoses.
One of the last jobs I want to do is to get all 4 calipers refurbished.
So thats all for the mo. Will keep you all posted.
