Saving an S1

Tried new control module thingy, no difference. Will wait for plugs and go again next weekend.

Good idea - have a break from it.

Friction? Have you put oil in it?

Here's a couple of helpful videos to watch during the week.

If you did one at a time into a jam jar you'd probably get away with it but note the comment on one of the videos about the injector seals.

Thanks so much. Will watch them., Good to know anyway.

Just had a thought.

After you take the old plugs out but before you fit the new ones spin the motor over on the starter until the oil pressure gauge shows something like normal pressure. Before you spin it though, squirt some engine oil down the bores and down the push-rod tubes so the cam has plenty of oil on it for start up.

Also disconnect the coil and put an old towel over the top of the engine to stop anything getting sucked in or oil getting blown over your nice clean engine bay.

Don't forget to reconnect the coil (now how do I know that? )
