darrenjlobb's Project M-TDI Twin Turbo Supercharged Derv Bus

[darrenjlobb]

Done some work on this today around looking at a 106 NAD (Ed Doe, Need to ask you something to look at on yours if you dont mind )..

Got the block painted, not the best of jobs, but as I found out on the last motor, by the time you add in blowers / pumps etc, you cant see it anyway, so didnt see much point going overkill with it.

On a sidenote, does anyone have techy data for these motors (torque settings) as there's a few bits on the head I wouldn't mind knowing the correct setting for..

Anyway, paint,




Clean up head studs, and dig out torque lube from back of bench (found it in no time somehow!)



Studs in



Gasket time



The moment of truth....









Cams in









So head almost done, just need to sort rocker cover out, but there has been a slight technicality involving the farm pressure washer and the plastic, nothing that wont be sorted tomorrow, but not quite there today

Thanks for reading
