Yeah but I bought mine by accident so I didn't choose the spec... It chose me!

thought you were going to polish the intake side, to keep it cooler
love those leather seats...
I like the rubber floor mats better than carpet ones

There is to weak to give it a good polish, it can crack. So i decide to clean it and paint. There will be not much temperature difference if it will be polished.

Rubbers don't match to leather interior - i use them only on winter to keep my floor dry. And those have leather and red stitch to match interior ;D

Winu, You are an inspiration. I can barely be bothered washing mine never mind what you do.
To those who have complained you are spending a lot of money I'll bet you would have spent much more replacing it with one a few years younger but it would never be as good as yours.

Well... L-Series went to year check, and she got an oil leak between head and block. This is an outside leak so nothing big right now - but I need to start thinking about new head gasket.
As we know to do this I need to remove head from engine. If head is removed it need to recon... i don't like recon parts on critical engine components... so...

I got a new one :bounce:

It will be armend with new valves, camshaft, blah blah blah.

Also bought new crankshaft from Rimmerbros. Thinking about new engine block, but we will see. Unfortunatley no new engines available... so I build it by myself

"HappyHippo" (not so at the time due to cambelt failure) got the last L Series engine Rimmers had. Was a bargain to £950!

Well, no luck with getting complete engine - but not bad doing this with available components - we tune some stuff when assembly it

I got head, now i got crankshaft

We build a nice, healthy engine from that stuff. Now looking for new camshaft

Washing???? you mean you wash it? Are we meant to wash it? Spend £ on - well that's perfectly normal - but wash it as well - I dunno that's def dodgy - bloody doors might fall off!
