Re: Timing Cover Swap

Ive put some meaningless pics up to test if it will work. I'll get some pics of the crank pulley up tomorrow. I decided to paint a few things while off the engine, a little bright but different.

Re: Timing Cover Swap

I got a mate who owns an engineering firm. He shortened the short nosr water pump 15mm further for me and also sorted my pulley out for me.

Re: Timing Cover Swap

Hi. I will be using a later distributor so will have no points to mess around with.. I'm hoping the water pump and pulleys are the same. I have the powertune short nose water pump on.

Short OIl Filter

Hi, Quick update. The Mann filter that is supposed to be the equivelant to the Halfrauds one is the W920/11. The filter is at least 1/2" longer than the Halfrauds one. That makes a bit of a difference so I will stick to the Halfrauds one.
