Did my water pump last night, what a pain. The engine was in place though

Last night I replaced the water pump, new timing and balancer belts.

Today I did the valve clearances and fitted the gearbox back on and swapped the dizzy and few other bits over. Did a few repairs to the wiring loom too.

The gearbox was a bit of a mare. Those multi-purpose clutch alignment tools are crap. Lined the clutch up by eye and finally got the bloody thing in. Bloody heavy as well

Tidied my old rocker cover up and applied some paint. Going in a garage in a bit to apply another coat.

Should get the engine in tomorrow.

MOT is booked for next Friday.

Thanks si for extra pair of hands with the engine mountings. Not in any rush as I need to get the exhaust header surfaces skimmed.

You know what you are doing, take time on the little things (they are always the bits that annoy you most) and you'd never go back and finish them otherwise

She runs! result.

New engine sounds sweet as well.
