Because I want to hunt him down and kill him
How many pipes!? :evil:
Started stripping the block down to do the head gasket. Any pretence of not doing it went out the window when I removed the exhaust manifold and saw the mess behind, lots of oil and only possible source is no 1 and no 4 cylinder. Valve clearances are out too going by feel, almost 1mm on some.
No gasket on thermostat, lots of liquid gasket on there, camshat oil seal is in 2 bits. Got a bolthole on the manifold -=> downpipe joint with no thread, as I suspected the gasket on the block and downpipe were toast.
Seems daft with it this far apart not to do the head and cambelt anyway.
Anyone have a diagram of the vacuum and fuel system.
Carb looks in really good condition surprisingly.
Anyoyone know how the engine would react to a small rotory supercharger?

It may sound daft but number the pipes when striping it down i've done it with wires etc when doing a head gasket & it made the rebuild a lot faster :D As for the supercharger you would have to decrease the compresion ratio a bit for it to work better, plus a supercharger can take a lot of BHP from the engine to get it going :roll:

Was an idle thought as I have a Garett T1 kicking about. realised it was about half the size of the engine and then thought about the little roots charger lying around at mum and dads
never mind :)
Will see whats left of the valves tomorrow

It may well work but i'm no expert. All I can remember is you have to drop the compresion ratio which I have Known to be done by fitting 2 head gaskets. But saying that if you turned down the boost you may get away with it on a standard set up :roll:
I would'nt dismiss it yet as i'm sure someone else may have the answer you need :D

There is an SC kit specifically for the vit. But it looks like the Land-ROver I was getting my still happen so I'm just gonna do the head gasket, clutch and cam belt and leave it alone.
