hi again all,,

according to the workshop manual / haynes, in order to lock the crankshaft on the L series you need to put a 6.5mm drill bit through the locating hole situated near the crank sensor!

now then, where the bloody hell is it,, spent close to an hour searching last night with no joy and i need to get the crank pully off before i can get any further into how knackered my engine!! anyone know where this nasty little hole is? pics would be better lol


however did get the remains of my very deaded cambelt out and the bottom end is turning nicely so hoping i may have avoided any serious piston damage!

lie underneath, and look through the small gap between the ird and engine, you can see it there if you use a torch! tape the drill at 90 degrees to the end of a screwdriver, and you can then get it in! HTH

okies, thanks buddy

still cant bloody find it thought i had but couldnt get anything up to it.,.,,,, i give up lol...... anyone in dorset that understands this crap design L- engine fancy giving me a hand in return for beer?>
