[procta]

Post up ALL of the pictures.  
We all love pictures.

Good work man.

Ok dan just for you,  i have taken some photos for you.
Also i am very, very close now of putting this back on its 4 wheels, after today!
My replacement cog, and engine locking tool came today, well about 4pm!
So i got picked up where i left off,
head back, with new oil stem seals, cleaned up and lightly skimmed with new rocker cover gasket, and new spark plugs installed, the inlet has new gaskets too. Also manifold has a new gasket too!
 

So new belt on the vvc side , proper rover one!



water elbow on with new gasket too,


New belt tensioner with new allen key bolt.

replacement water pump installed too!

Brand new engine mount too!

the f*cked cog


replacement one ( genuine rover)
 
After an hour with my dad working on the timing belt side of things, which was a bit of a faff. Getting the belt and tensioner to play nicely, my dad had to remove the tensioner and reset the thing so it would play ball.
After that we went back at it again, Then with in a half of an hour,

 


all was well! These were taken just before we installed the cranky pulley,
with in a few mins, all is spot on 
Thank f*ck for that!! Everything behaved as it should, the belt is spot on!
I moved on to putting the timing belt covers back on, and fitted a new alternator belt ( genuine rover ) makes sense to sort that out while the rad is off.
So that side of things is now put to bed, and i have installed the expansion tank too, which is now connected to the head,
By this time, i was running out of light, and it came in dark very quickly, so i was working against the clock, so i couldn't take anymore photos, But tomorrow, if all is well, i should be able to get the starter motor back on, air box and earth lead connected back on. Also fix the f*cked wiring too.
I hope to even get the car back on its wheels. i have the Driver side wheel back on now too.
Then its a case of sorting this out,

 yes that is the replacement top hose, from a Rover 200, To replace the current Bmw setup.
( i might look at installing a temp sensor here, )
