Re: 2nd lude build: update EL Dials installation inclu 4WS &
Wurly. It sat for 2 years before I bought it and had it on the road near 2 years. Then it sat for just over a year before I got it to the house and started doing work on it myself. It's never been undersealed. So it's pretty much a full build mate.
Also on the springs I didn't realise that I had either been running on broken springs before one of the pipes went or they have snapped in the process of lifting and dropping and in transport to the house.

Yeah I hadn't noticed and it's more likely they had gone and I had been driving about not knowing so yeah. Something else to add to the to do list

Re: 2nd lude build: update engine out
Well more work done today with the help of a mate.
Engine out...was easier than I expected if I'm honest. Took around 4 hours and it was out and in the garage ready for more work.
Mini helper for a while.

Re: 2nd lude build: update engine out
Quick tidy of the garage after abandoning all tools yesterday. Took the rocker off and was pleasantly surprised. Cams look in good order a couple of wear marks. Also I was expecting the timing belt to be horrific as I had no idea of when it was last done.
