Slight exhaust blow?

Why would that cause the brake lights to stick?

So you've got used to the exhaust noise then?

By the way I went to use my 21 mm socket the other day to discover that you still hold it hostage, what do I have to do to secure its release?

Erm, I have to remember that I have it and you have to remember to take it with you!

Don't think the zorst is leaking after all.

Yeah right, it's been plugged with a 21 mm socket

Last time we meet you convinced me that I'd taken the socket - next time I'm looking around your eyes

Are you sure you are only missing the 21mm socket?

I guess, you can't remember...

It might come back in time...

Then again, it might not...

Paranoid? Who said that?

I finally got around to pulling apart the original engine from the Rover.

I don't really have any experience of examining and assessing the bottom end of an engine but by the look of the shells it was probably just as well that I went for a recon unit rather than just doing the head gaskets and cam.

Some pics:















All the time I was pulling the engine apart I kept hearing complimentary things about me being whispered. Then I realised why. It was the Kroil in the orange can on the bench.

Just need Ben to come and have a look and do an assessment (for the fun of it) and then the engine will be cleaned and become a coffee table.

Anyone know where I can get the Block & pistone chemically cleaned?


ETA - The rusty pistons are due to the fact that the engine has stood outside for the last 2 years.
