It looks so damn good.   I usually hate RWL, but looks great in your case.

Anyone have any idea why the Germans call a core support a front lock carrier?

It’s out of the way. New alternator apparent as claimed. Ready to keep stripping until the leaks are gone then put it back together. Gonna be cold in the morning.

Same reason the rad panel on a Land Rover is called the breakfast.

Rear diff has one bad axle seal.

Rain delay #fail



Doing the cam seals is a bigger job than a timing belt. Fuck.

One head done. What a fucker.

Wheel spacers showed up. Came with proper bolts but i shire could use a DIr to chase the threads. Those hubs haven’t had proper engagement for a while apparently. The nice spline drive closed end sparco lug nuts fit too. Winning!

Hub rings didn’t make it early (all was due Monday) but I can bolt em up anyway if I want.

And I want. Because I want to be done with this timing and sealing stuff. This has to be 10 hours book labor. I’m curious.

Could test fire right now, should be all good. Cleaned up and heading to my parents for dad’s birthday. Hopefully wrap it up tomorrow. Might take the afternoon off if work cooperates.

Probably have a total of 14-17 hours into it. I don’t find it terrible to come in at 2x book time as a non”pro doing a job for the first time on a car and platform I’m not familiar with.

Took me 1/3 the time to do the chain guides on the second cam chain tensioner as the first. Total time on that side was the same thought because I had to remove the egr valve to get things apart and that was three blind and inaccessible bolts, of which I removed 4

Too me a minute to find the extra hole, but I did!

Should have this (the belts and seals part at least - no the suspension part) wrapped up tonight.

ebay seller has gone quiet on the blown rear shocks and horrible rattle from one side.
emailed arie about parts, he did earlier confirm vendor relation.
I may make my rear lift blocks and throw the steel spring struts back in at a level stance. would be muuuuch cheaper, but no availability to gain inches of clearance at the push of a button. All depends what its capability really is on whether I care about that or not.
