Ha ha, yes I meant bar not psi - oops

Cheers folks, appreciate all the advice. I'll start the hunt for air leaks although it might have to wait for the weekend again. Interestingly I drove it around it around the block last night and when I pulled back up and left it at idle my fuel pressure was around 1.8psi (which has gone down from w...

Hiya, and thanks guys. I did disconnect the vacuum pipes and blocked them whilst I set the timing - wasn't sure if that was totally correct? I've seen differing opinions? I'll recheck the timing again. I've not had several hours of running out of mine yet, I didn't want to keep running it as I was w...

Hi folks, I'm looking for some advice or someone local to Loughborough to take a look at my van please. Its the 2.1 fuel injected automatic. Having put the engine back together, its running a little lumpy, from the exhaust note it almost sounds a bit poppy, like its not running cleanly on all cylind...

Great idea, but I think I'll just take out the existing engine though, it will encourage me to get it done faster :D I can't seem to add photos, might need to talk to admin.

Thanks for confirming, I'm following the Haynes but then I had a little think about what I was actually measuring. I'd hate to get this far and then make the crank too tight or too loose. It's the availability of advice from people like yourself that makes it possible for people to have a go, so tha...

However my rebuild engine came from a van with a manual gearbox, hence the flywheel, but it will replace the engine currently in my van and...

Much appreciated, I like the price too.

Thanks !!!!

Hi folks, I'm doing my first engine rebuild, its a 2.1 DJ. Just wondering what folks use to seal the two crankcase halves together? I'm not planning to make a habit of this, so although I want to make sure its done properly I'm not looking to buy a bucket of the stuff.

Much appreciated,
Mark
