lol And modified cars tbh! Especially with a shifty looking driver... lol


On topic though, 90c sounds fine for coolant temp!? Confused

I haven't been pulled either, even when I am a bout in the rover, they didn't even bat an eye lid.
I did think I was going to get wrong for something, when I pulled out side my door, and they pulled in behind me! but they were paying a visit to a woman two doors down.

Probably thought you were an old lady out shopping or going to church.

Quick time lapse video of refitment of me booster!

Wanted to strip and inspect to see how she was after the RR run and the headlifting etc.

Very pleased to report she is birlliant. No oil seaping out anywhere like the last unit. So gave it a polish up and a clean! Also permitted access to repair the oil return line which just keeps falling apart. New hose on order, but just need to get to Friday for the head off day!


RE: 2.1GTd...218bhp/351ft lbs - Piggy - 27-10-2014

hmmmm nice n clean!

Love a good timelapse. Cant belive m/c has to.come off :0


RE: 2.1GTd...218bhp/351ft lbs - Piggy - 31-10-2014

It doesnt HAVE to but for the sake of TWO bolts...my goodness it makes life easier!!
The top timing cover takes about 15min of fiddling to get off with the MC in place. Took 15seconds with the MC out. Plus it means I can get to the last headbolt a LOT easier and lift the head off easier too.


RE: 2.1GTd...218bhp/351ft lbs - bashbarnard - 31-10-2014

Fair enough if it makes for an easy life man. Obviously never worked on a 2.1 306


RE: 2.1GTd...218bhp/351ft lbs - eskimogod - 31-10-2014

love a garage timelapse vid always tempted to set one up when im in the garage (not that it would be interesting the mundane jobs i do..) what camera set up you using?

Best thing I learnt from my foreman....if you can make the job easier and simpler by spending 2min removing a part...DO IT! lol

Xperia Z2 and a great little ap! Plus a mini tripod for the Z2.

Short part 2 till it got too dark. Cant be arsed to work in the dark in the gravel when I have all weekend to work on it




RE: 2.1GTd...218bhp/351ft lbs - eskimogod - 31-10-2014

didn't even think about using my phone lol my htc cameras fairly decent too, will give it a go when i'm in the garage.

got your arps ready for when the head goes back on?


RE: 2.1GTd...218bhp/351ft lbs - Piggy - 31-10-2014

Yeah!!

Ruddy expensive HG hasnt turned up though Angry


RE: 2.1GTd...218bhp/351ft lbs - eskimogod - 31-10-2014

gutted! fingers crossed for tomorrow.. what one you gone for?


RE: 2.1GTd...218bhp/351ft lbs - Chris_90 - 31-10-2014

You getting head skimmed? Why it's off to play it safe


RE: 2.1GTd...218bhp/351ft lbs - Piggy - 01-11-2014

Elring. May end up having to use a payen though.

No skim. Haters guna spout but its only a head lift issue. Taken advice that she wont need it but i may still get it checked. £140 for a skim I dont need would irritate me, slighty!!


RE: 2.1GTd...218bhp/351ft lbs - jammapic - 01-11-2014

Surely getting it checked anyway is a wise move given the issues you had many moons ago....

That's what I was thinking and looking at the time/hassle it is to take head of i personally wouldn't wanna be doing it again! Do it once and never again hopefully.


RE: 2.1GTd...218bhp/351ft lbs - bashbarnard - 01-11-2014

Ive got a machine shop thats £50 for a skim where are you going :o

Flat edge on it does it seem ok bang back on Wink


RE: 2.1GTd...218bhp/351ft lbs - Niall - 01-11-2014

No point in skimming a head if it's true. I've never understood people who skim them regardless when the majority of the time, you can just take it to an engine shop and they will check it with a straight edge for free. Or you can do it your self if you have a straight edge.


RE: 2.1GTd...218bhp/351ft lbs - Paul_13 - 01-11-2014

Get it skimmed FFS

I can see where you're coming from Niall but I'm part of getting it skimmed regardless.

If it's apart just get it done in my eyes, better doing the job once not twice

This its a waste of money for no reason otherwise.


RE: 2.1GTd...218bhp/351ft lbs - cully - 01-11-2014

sheet of glass on a flat surface and check it for true yourself with some fine grinding paste or engineers blue Wink


RE: 2.1GTd...218bhp/351ft lbs - welshpug - 01-11-2014

corrosion is the main reason all my heads have been skimmed!

Thats the only reason i can see to do it (unless of course its warped) but even with most corrosion, you can clean it up with a oil stone.


RE: 2.1GTd...218bhp/351ft lbs - welshpug - 01-11-2014

not sure if srs ?! lol


RE: 2.1GTd...218bhp/351ft lbs - Toms306 - 01-11-2014

Those timelapses are cool Piggy! Wanted to do some myself before, never thought about using a phone for it, don't think my battery would last long enough though tbf lol.

Where is that? Confused I've paid considerably more than that twice in Ipswich... Sad


RE: 2.1GTd...218bhp/351ft lbs - Seb_Ryan - 01-11-2014

Skim and pressure test is 55 down here.. But that is trade
