Did you fix your AFR gauge?

And fairly easy not ragging it tbh, go visiting people

Nah bro think its broke the sensor :( lol

Oil pressure gauge aint working either just goes to max.

Fuck sakessssss

Looks awesome man well done

well bodged up my oil gauge, got plenty of pressure hot + cold :)

having problems with it being tappety when it starts to get hot, not sure my tappets are too healthy, why i didnt strip and clean them i dont fucking know.

Because impatient

i built the head up really quick as i was gonna get it in for poloshow, didnt even think to take it apart again, woulda took 5 mins!

Looks amazing man! Good work

Looks spiffing lad!

Looks spiffing lad!

Oh and i tried stripping and rebuilding my tappets to quiet them down, made no difference at all.

If there out of tolerance/worn, your better off just replacing.

it never tapped before the second rebuild though!

2. new wiper possibly
3. need new CV boots all round, so may aswell get some new shafts
4. need new TCA's as the ball joint gaitors are fucked
5. sump is leaking oil
6. front brakes need changine to my VW1's finally as I've worn my pads out so i have an excuse
7. need to put some different rear wheels on as mine are scrubbed from previous owners unrolled arches
8. exhaust is blowing where the AFH manifold dont connect properly
9. fog light bulb needs changing to a red one
10. engine bay wiring needs tidying up
11. need to run engine in and set my fuel mixture and timing

refitted my oil pressure gauge and did the wiring properly, also got wideband sensor working...

having a couple idling issues though since i played with the carbs earlier. tis strange

Can get new balljoint dust covers off ebay for like 6 quid a pair if the balljoints are actually alright, better than 40 odd quid for new ones if they arent

needed!

Ah what issit!! Link me!!

Had to replace mine for mot, but balljoints themselvs were fine etc, ordered medium and large size. Large is defo too big, medium fits well but sags

over the bottom slightly so i'd go for small tbh :)

Using 145 jets atm. Tad small i guess.
