Have put her back together, turned the engine on, and she sounds really lumpy, what have I done? arghh!

thanks for your advice folkes! have taken push rod tubes out but have some concerns, some of the new seals are loose? does this mean that the pushrods are mishaped? (I have put the correct size seals on the correct end) also there is no retaining wire for the rocker gear? how much of a problem is th...

Well does'nt sound so bad................How much car do I have to remove to get enough access? I will buy seals from local GSF, will i need any other products? lubricants, sticking things? When doing this what do I need to look out for - what are the most likely kinds of error? also The tinware at ...

Hi folkes, was hoping it was the cork seal round the plastic rocker cover, that sounded easy to fix but looks like the drip is coming from the foreward most nearside push rod tube, thats bad right?

So yep will get...

I have two ramps so I can raise the back of my van up to about .4m. I don't think this will be high enough to slide the engine out? Can anyone recomend a specific product/jack for 1.raising the van and 2. lowering the engine out?

Just got my ac/2l/pet back from the garage with replacement engine fitted, about 1 mile from home (1mile from garage) loads of oil is smoking from the back of the van. Significant oil leak noted. There is not a mechanic I know who is decent and trustworthy. My mission then is to get stuck in my self...

I want to install seat belts for the centre isle swivel seats - Ideally, so you can be front or back facing and still be strapped in. Does anyone know how I could ...
