Henry Webster:
I've had one of those evenings, but should be a bit cheaper to fix, than you Tim.

Just replaced the heater matrix in the commuting car - Fiesta.  It was being a pain with airlocks as I filled it back up and now I've sheared the bleed screw on the top hose.

Oh well, looks like I won't be going to the AWDC comp at Sidbury tomorrow then. :cry:   Still probably just as well, I'd probably only end up pining to be competing myself. :wink:

What on earth would I want that for ?   It's got a silly distributor on it  :twisted:

And Tim's V8 is nice and meaty too :) (unlike neil's spagetti)

muddyweb:
Well... due to my slight concern over the wear on the cam bearings coupled with not being very happy about a bit of a rumble at tickover, I decided to bit the bullet and strip the thing.

So, now I have a V8 block, and a big pile of oily bits  :shock:


As suspected the big ends and and mains are showing a fair bit of wear... so a full rebuild is on the cards !

All good fun   8)

Jake:
Good luck Tim
Will you have it back together for Whaddon?
 :shock:
