Everyone at the mids meet was going on about the million times they'Ve been pulled over in the last month. nope never have in 9 odd years and ive driven some right dodgy cars noisy falling apart etc hope you get it all sorted soon bud and that the arps do the job too! how much they set you back? think you'll stop if you hit 250 bhp? RE: 2.1GTd...218bhp/351ft lbs - Piggy - 24-10-2014 Tbh its enough power now so if I can fettle to just tweak the way it responds etc I'll be happy. Im not changing anything else now or doing any more big jobs RE: 2.1GTd...218bhp/351ft lbs - procta - 25-10-2014 (23-10-2014, 04:40 PM)RetroPug Wrote:(23-10-2014, 08:18 AM)Toms306 Wrote:(22-10-2014, 09:00 PM)Niall Wrote: Sometimes they just do. Random stop and searches that apparently the police only do on black people! 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. RE: 2.1GTd...218bhp/351ft lbs - Danny Wideboy - 25-10-2014 Probably thought you were an old lady out shopping or going to church. RE: 2.1GTd...218bhp/351ft lbs - Piggy - 27-10-2014 http://youtu.be/CR8okKv4sts 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! [attachment=19802] RE: 2.1GTd...218bhp/351ft lbs - londondan86 - 27-10-2014 Cracking result chap and a good build. Well done RE: 2.1GTd...218bhp/351ft lbs - Piggy - 31-10-2014 http://youtu.be/9MXzgYMrC9Q RE: 2.1GTd...218bhp/351ft lbs - bashbarnard - 31-10-2014 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?

Its something I have really got into recently! Love it! 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 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 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 Re: RE: 2.1GTd...218bhp/351ft lbs - bashbarnard - 01-11-2014 (01-11-2014, 09:01 AM)Niall Wrote: No point in skimming a head if it's true.

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 ?! 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.
