minor update - MOT ran out end of October so its been off the road whilst I tinker with a few bits, namely welding the exhaust and making pattern part tat actually fit properly, its quite shocking how crap the fit is!

New bushes on the bottom of the rear dampers, lifted the ride height a little on the back, swapped the bottom engine mount for a fairly fresh standard one but filled the voids with PU adhesive.

Annnddd managed to trace down a very reasonably priced genuine bosch fuel pump on teh bay of E all the way from Latvia, the walbro replacement I fitted only lasted 3 months, wasn't amused with that.

MOT booked for later today

I have no idea what half that stuff is or what the readings on the gauge mean, however, it looks fantastic. Do love a nice clean painted engine. Good luck with it Mei

Totally understand you don't have the budget of some people Mei .....your updates are always interesting & you seem to get things done WELL on a shoe string....your lucky you can do most of the Engine work yourself....

sourced tells me it's not a 2.0L anymore ...spill the beans

so, an update!

took the head and valves to South Wales Pistons for them to check the face and guides and cut the seats and valves.

20160518_185217 by WELSHPUG, on Flickr

fitting the springs and collets, what a faff! dab of grease helps, also not having the cam ladders gives and extra inch or so of clearance, I wrapped the head of the spring compressor in tape so the lifter bores weren't damaged.

Cleaned and refaced the tappets.



20160531_204018 by WELSHPUG, on Flickr

checked the clearance to the freshly re-fitted oil spray bars, looooads, could sling a 96mm crank in there easily.



20160522_132157 by WELSHPUG, on Flickr

20160623_231258 by WELSHPUG, on Flickr

Dragged the ZX around the units and washed it off, stuck it on the lift.
