I have made more tools since, useful for the k-series, must get round to uploading pics into that thread above, latest being a valve spring compression tool (essentially a giant G-clamp) made entirely from scrap, well a cycle roller for indoor cycle training and the telescopic poles from a garden swingball

Some sites to greet you in due course

Cam timing

Crank puley timing

rocker cover off and cam carrier seq

Head bolt, note " mark, which is used for torque (when the bolt is free standing in the hole,97mm is measured from bolt flange to the alum face on the head)

Cylinders full of coolant, note MLS gasket

Cylinders drained but not decoked, liner tops should stand proud of block face by 0.075mm, or if slightly less, they should all be level

Just the k4 petrol one and only a thing or two.

Was it Newton who said 'if I can see further, its cos I'm standing on the shoulders of giants'
