UPDATE TIME

right as per a previous thread i put the waterpump and cambelt on checked the timing and perfect, BUT i had to leave for half an hout so left mt mate with the car, all he had to do was fit the starter, when i returned the starter was on buit it wouldnt turn over so i thought dud starter so changed it, then tried again still nothing, so whipped the starter off and the fly and cam wouldnt line up it was stopping halfway as if it was touching, i spent hours trying different things until i give up, then he told me...........

........ he fitted the battery when doing the starter and when tigtening the starter bolts the wires touched the starter which flicked the fly 180degrees out which f*cked everything, pissed off was not the word!!!

so lucky i had my XUD for the 205 so thats going in now below are pics of the damage he caused and the new engine.
