Tub or baby bath, petrol, paint brush, clean, rinse with water, dry in the sun.
Make sure you rinse out degreaser properly and dry it properly.
Else your engine will go bang.

Itslike 2mm higher.
Its fine.
Got stuck into this DIY yesterday, with the help of Vvvtec and TbM.

Gearbox broke, so we had to put the B back in. New belt on and tensioned, Adam doing the valve clearances. He loved doing this so much, I think he has decided to become a B18c valve clearance specialist

Car seems to be running great. Big thanks to Adam and Alex for helping (doing) this for me, and for all the help in this thread from you guys :thumbsup:
P&P performance at it again
nice
Howd you break the crank pulley open
Wedged the pulley tool against the ground with some blocks of wood, then used a ratchet with about 1.5m of extension on the end to crack the bolt. It was still tight haha.
Nice.
Adam & Alex are gentlemen for helping out.
cashed up dollers where saved
Yeah they are champions. Getting a few random idle problems, so the fun isn't over yet.
