It lives, but it doesn't quite sound right, but I've got to the point where I can't spend any more time or money on it, so...... It's for sale, I'm giving you guys the heads up I was thinking of asking £100 for it would that be about right? thanks for all the help everyone gave me too cheers Mick

yay! finally, got the engine back together on Sat, to the point where I could get her up and running, and it works bit low in the fuel department, and probably needs a little tweek with the timing, but she runs All I need to do now is get a new battery, air filter, and a couple of tires...

I'm just putting the head back on and the settings on my torque wrench don't match with what's in the manual. In the book it gives lbf ft or kgf m. My wrench has the main heading Torques, and below that, two columns headed Newton and Meter on one side and on the other the heading MKGS and below...

what about the welding torch use that seems pretty do-able some pretty interesting vids on that side of things

thanks Frank no haven't noticed any smoke on start up, think I'll just get head and rocker cover gaskets for now then I did find a cheaper set over at Japarts in case any one is interested,

the guy I've been looking at is ZeroFossilFuel. I just watched all 92 of his vids, very knowledgeable guy and informative. He explains everything he is doing, wish there where more like him mick

what's the best way to buy the gaskets/ As I need them, or just buy a head gasket set? I found a set on express car parts for £32, is that a reasonable? mick

Anybody looked into this at all? been watching loads of vids on You Tube, it's supposed to boost performance and make your engine run better, buy burning all the fuel in the combustion chamber instead of the exhaust. Bringing down emmissions at the same time it's basically an electrolytic...
