Looks like you know what you’re doing as well.

finished putting everything back together (apart from the NS engine mount, and missing PS pump lent to Steve to test his) and started her ok after charging up the battery last night

need to sort that mount, sort a coolant leak at the top pipe that goes into the block, then drive her around the close to test. if all ok, next step is pre mot check and then shove her in for an mot itself. After that, it's straight off the the tuner this time instead of hooning her to Outlon Park lol i suspect the AF ratio was wrong last time as it hadnt had a tune in years, and with the further upping of compression from 11:64 to 12:51 i should have done this first last time, hence the 4x melted pistons

Great to hear she's back together, hope the test drive goes well - and yes sounds very sensible to go for tuning straight away!

Nice, it'll be good to see this running again.

Awesome, looking forward to hearing on how the retune goes.

forgot to mention, i had a nice little 2yr puddle in the boots battery box...

sitting there for two years had earned a layer of green on one side...

so had the pressure washer and foam out for a good clean. much better

Good to see it a bit clean after 2 years
