Managed to get an hour on this today ..went from empy weekend to driveway of Pugs to fix...
Had to spend sometime this week cleaning this...what a mess it was...90% blocked in places...
Anyways...good things happened!
First... Valve springs. Left one is old 45lb, right hand is uprated 75lb.
Fitting them...can't use ordinary spring compressor for many reasons...so...
Then I shoved a Elring HG on the deck and wacked a rather useful 16v head on it!
Wet pants moment when bad noises were heard as i torqued the head down with the ARPs...
Slight relief met with annoyance when I then snapped the 12 sided socket on the next nut...
Que a lot of rumaging to find another!
