Got a few more bits done on the new engine over the weekend. Ordered a few bits for the start of the huge service!
Got the new thermostat and housing fitted
The Rocker Cover gasket in the first picture I was sent was wrong so had to go down to the car parts store and get it exchanged for the correct one, but then cracked on with getting it changed, the rocker cover its self had really bad build up of old oil which was a nightmare to try and clean..
I used some Coke which someone told me works well and soaked it in it and then pressure washed it, then took it in side to dry out properly over night under the radiator lol
It wasn't perfectly clean but as good as I could get it and 10x better!
The old gasket was so brittle and had gone like plastic, so I'm glad I got it changed now!
I got everything cleaned up and re fitted everything inc new sparkplugs, Its kind of annoying now having 6 of everything!
I then got the inlet manifold unbolted ready for the M50 conversion, I just need to source a decent kit, But the decent kits seem to be from the US
Also got some company from a random cat whilst I was up the lockup
and the weathers getting better too!
That's all for now until I save some more penny's lol
