Let me know when you have finished that engine, and I will bring a few down to keep you busy!

Lovely job.

Hi, Just as a question (i've just purchased another 2 1/4 series 3 diesel, after a 8 year break!)
With my previous 2 1/4 diesel, I remember that the pump mounting bracket had been filled to allow further retarding?)

Even though I replaced the timing chain (with a dial gauge), it was still happiest in the filled slots. - question is why?

Also I notice on your pictures, the mounting bracket appears to be the 'pinch type', does this bracket give the extra flexibility you need?

regards

David (happily back Drovering!)

timing wasnt accurate enough meaning master spline wasnt 20 degrees from front securing stud,worn skew gear and cam teeth ,pump not set up right
