I'll look on Monday then, I had to reinstall FF recently at home and not signed in there,
Got it on saved logins in FF at work.

The wine is highly recommended
19 crimes a red strong enough to kick your a@@
Good to meet you Ben hopefully your valve springs are more robust than mine where

Spent most of the Saturday cleaning parts ready for the reassembly when the new pistons arrive, only to find that the oil pump had a bit of an issue - pretty sure that this didn't happen whilst I was taking it apart but have not found the offending part in the oil or sump...
Good job I got the spare pump from @triggersbroom !

Took a look at the spare crank I picked up and decided the journals were cleaner than my existing one.
Got the pilot bearing puller out and removed the spigot bush... child's play with the right tools.
Picked up some superfine wet and dry to do first pass on the journals, and some Autosol for final finish - tonight's job.

It's an EU2 engine so not really sensitive to maxed out MAF. The EU2 ECU only really uses the MAF to work out how much exhaust gas is being ingested. 1) my map has an EGR delete 2) the MAF sensor has been rescaled to cover up to 850mgh (it still maxes out). I'm also running a 3bar MAP sensor and appropriate rescale.
Regarding boost level control, what specifically about it? The map I'm running can request up to 24psi of boost and regulates the WGM accordingly.
It's all stuff either done by Offtrack or using information that he's put on his website.

So here's the dodgy rocker...
Luckily I have another shaft kicking about which has some good rollers on....
using 2 screwdrivers the blind circlip can be knocked off... the rocker then just slides off
Polished the crank journals lightly with Autosol, paraffin washed it, blew dry it with compressed air, then oiled the journals with a bit of WD.
I also gave the block a final hone, wash down, ATF clean of the bores, and a light oil.
It's about time to reassemble things.

Make sure you clean that filthy block before you nail it back together
Looking good though.

That's a right result, i remember when it was cheaper to buy an SKF speedy sleeve than a new stub axle but you can buy 2 D1 stubs for the price of a speedy sleeve these days
4 day weekend, you'll have it running by Monday lunch
Nice, caravan in Keswick or something more fancy
Slightly more fancy, AirBnB jobbie. Bit of walking, bit of drinking, etc
Should have booked a room at an inn, less walking and more drinking then mate
. Gotta be thinking all the time fella
