Blatant plug..! (Shoot me.)
Just listed my diesel engine pump timing tools here and on the Bay.
(Can't see where on a V8 I can stick 'em now, so not much use to me...)
Bay No 323765912648

You can use it under the bonnet to improve a V8

You just pull it out and stick the doozle in

Don't know what that is but it doesn't work as a link, can't copy, and if I touch it tries to ring it as a phone number then my phone crashes

.. copy the number then put it in the Bay search bar as an item search..
Not sure how to do a page link on here.

As mentioned - it won't copy. The old fashioned way works - 'pencil' (google archaic tools) - as I didn't have any sand to draw in

I found it

It's a big one

I would give you £50 but I can't work ebay

paint looks MINT!

It is the FIP holding tool that is really useful. Worth £50 any day.

I will need FIP messed with before too long. Even if it's for the indie to use instead of hammers. It's most of the P38 kit though, even cam holder and window socket

It is MOT time again for my P38. The fourth one in my ownership and another pass first time. Good to have a decent mooch underneath on a proper hoist, there are a few areas that would benefit from a clean and Waxoyling before the surface rust gets any worse. Celebrated our 'ticket' by getting the caravan out of storage on the same day.

Just replaced rear discs and pads on my P38,I had to drill out both disc retaining screws which only took minutes with a new drill bit, Front ones are next on the list.

Cheepo handheld impact driver works for me every time. Beat it to death and out..

Few sharp clouts with a large hammer before hand usually helps to break it free a little. Works on adjustable spanners too.
Then punch if she won't come. Some people just put wheels back on without new one but I wouldn't do that they are pennies.

Beat the rear calipers over the head with my pressure bleeder for the third time today and finally managed to get good pressure on the pedal.

I had replaced both rear calipers on Thursday but had trouble getting the last air out of the system, and of course being me I found I had ordered the wrong calipers, metric instead of imperial, as luck would have it I did have a few metric fittings kicking around but soon found that my flare tool wasn't up to the job on the existing steel (bundy ?) tube so had to then make up new copper alloy rear brake lines.

.
One good thing though, all threads came apart with no trouble, just to be sure for the future everything went back together with a smear of copper coat.

Collected a replacement cylinder head! And ordered new gaskets etc

Mot time again passed with flying colours. Not even oil leak advisory ( and yes there is oil in it). Italian tune up beforehand and passed emissions with flying colours as well. Happy bunny.

So whilst in overalls decided to totally strip my other engine that went fubar. Few pics on what I found.
No 1 piston crown
No1 piston underside
No 1 conrod
No1 cylinder head

Tried that but the previous owner had chewed the screw heads up , cant be sure whether he managed to get them out and put them back in (w*%ker) or gave up when he couldn't get them out

I thought that, but the heads were pretty well chewed up, drilling them out was quick and easy
