Re: 1986 Single Cab
only works of you have pulled the barrels off pistons, I try not to.DoubleOSeven wrote: Everyone has their own method by I find a washer and nut is sufficient.
Ideally you support pistons when pulling pins and the barrel does this nicely.

oh I see,
Try using fine grinding paste with an old barrel, if the sealing surface is good enough then don't worry but if the sealing surface is compromised then its scrap.
Hard for me to see if that is into the sealing surface or not?
E D I T, a close look I think thats scrap

Re: 1986 Single Cab
Yup...door stop beckons for this one...but fear not I have another. I do need a valve compressor loan though, I’ve never lapped any valves before.
Don’t know if these numbers in the intake manifold are relevant to HT leads? Anyway, never noticed them before.

It’s NOT even correct twice a day! Any ideas how to take this needle off?
Can you change the mileage? This odometer came from another vehicle

Found a parts washer in my kitchen trying to pass itself off as a dishwasher!
Not sure if I can use this Syncro thermostat housing, 025121117E on my late 1.9 DG build

Interested to know how this drives, ALD has a 5.5 final drive ( DG is normally 4.83) as its a diesel box so that means ( As far as I know) that your revs are much lower for a given speed but I guess you can just use a lower gear. Might be interesting to know how it drives on a motorway, revs always seem far too high but perhps its needed.

Re: 1986 Single Cab
Yeah. Probably not ideal but it’ll do for now.
