Joey the VNT boosted 205!

With regards to the springs Tom, a dab of grease on each one makes the job easy

Should go well, but dont rest to much faith in the hdi rods!!

That is exactly what i done sir I dont rest THAT much faith in them, just the fact that they are slightly stronger and they will hopefully take away the "randomness" of rod failures. If i break a set of these then im pushing to hard, and that wont happen because i have mechanical sympathy

Pictures are always needed.

So pump is swapped and locked off, bottom end is sort of locked off, cant really find anything that done it well, i think theres a punch in there at the minute but that doesnt exactly work well. Cam isnt locked atall its just chilling over the locking hole, will put a bolt in it tomorrow. Tensioner and idler are swapped over, wasnt going to replace the waterpump because it was done when the cambelt was last done, which wasnt that long ago its just my tensioner that needed changing because it was probably on 140k. Long story. But theres a rusty trail coming out of it but its literally underneath the pulley which is weird but whatever if its gotta be done then so be it. My engine mount actually wasnt attached to the engine very well either which was worrying.

But most annoyingly i really want that pump to be ok and i really want to time it up perfect first time, so theres alot of pressure on tomorrow, im being anal and want that belt to be tensioned up once and thats it.

So yeah if everyone could hope a pray for the best that would be great. Thats all for now.
