I don't know how these things happen...... but what started out as a quick water pump and radiator swap has turned into a full engine tidy up.
Stripped the engine bay out and degreased it all yesterday, and fixed the leaking oil filter head.
Today it got masked up and a couple of spray cans of paint.
It's not perfect, but a lot better than it was. Also didn't want to spend too long on it - being school holidays there are a couple of kids waiting for it to be finished.
Because all the bolt on bits will look really crap against the new paint, I have been blasting and painting them to go back on. The distributor came up really well!
Just a quick bead blast and coat of clear lacquer. The clamp plate is a spare I had plated a while ago.
So tomorrow is re-assembly day - before I forget where all the bits go (or the family kills me!).
Cheers, MD.
