September 26, 201510 yr As long as your legal mate, there's not a lot anybody can do, even if they do feel put out. We have a neighbour who opens their patio doors first thing in the morning and all you can hear is their kid screaming on, day after day after day after.....nothing anyone can do about it though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

September 27, 201510 yr Engine in place, hooked up, turn the key... *tink tink tink* Valves don't sound great. Lucky we've got a spare on in the shed to swap over tomorrow Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
September 27, 201510 yr Author Gutted mate,if I ever need to pull an engine I'll be asking you for tips, reckon it will all be up and running for japshow ? Drove over 7 hours yesterday had noisy valves on start up today but could be due to the fact it's been stood outside in cold overnight for a week instead of being tucked up nice and warm, goes away when up to temp so may treat her to an impromptu oil & filter just for good measure
September 27, 201510 yr It's could be worse- the bottom end was quiet when it was turned over though. Getting it running for Japshow is easy, getting it running for the re-map on Wednesday might be a bit more tricky! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Im trying my hardest to get mine in for a tweak on the primary turbo.
September 28, 201510 yr Engine's pretty much back in place- it turned out to be the plate under the flywheel had bent up and was snagging on the back of the clutch. Could've been fixed in about 10 minutes. Oh well... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
September 29, 201510 yr Author Waterless coolant?........anyone use it?To expensive considering the rads tens to sing a leak every couple of years [emoji14] In all seriousness it looks like a good product need to buy the conditioner stuff before hand too
September 29, 201510 yr Gave the scooby a wash polish and wax Sunday [emoji41] Mrs came outside and helped [emoji15] She hasn't told me what she's done or going to buy yet though [emoji39]

September 29, 201510 yr Author You have a lot to learn young Sam, i'm afraid it never works like that [emoji22]
September 29, 201510 yr And it's the wrong way round. ... She helped me with something scooby[emoji15] so in her eyes I probably owe her something girly [emoji57] But I did point out all the imperfections in the bodywork which was a pre emt strike for getting the paintwork sorted [emoji6]

September 30, 201510 yr To expensive considering the rads tens to sing a leak every couple of years [emoji14] In all seriousness it looks like a good product need to buy the conditioner stuff before hand too The point of it is that it`s waterless, so non-corrosive and it`s also not pressurized, so less chance of leaks. I`m mulling with the idea but need to glean more info. Cheers
September 30, 201510 yr Author I saw a place online that was selling the conditioner & waterless stuff for quite cheap, you've just got to remember unless you tell the garage at major service time they'll just change it anyway
September 30, 201510 yr All good things about waterless. there is no reason why you shouldn't do it. It's expensive(ish) to do but you wont be spending any extra money on coolant so worth it.

Just looking for some info on waterless and the flat 4/6 engine before I make any decisions really but any input is greatly appreciated!
