Thanks guys. As it happens I went ahead without the nanocom & loosened the mid 4 FIP bolts and tapped the actuator forwards with a hammer & it's running sweet as a nut now (aren't hammers just the best thing ever 😄 🤣 😂). I'll get some readings tomorrow. It's idling at around 850rpm but I'm happy...

Thanks lads. Right I've got my brothers Nanocom but I've never used one before. I belive it's set up already but I've no idea which menu selections I need to use. Could someone guide me through, cheers? Yes I put grooves on the back of the mid section of the pump too for any lateral movement. I...

It's been rebuilt. I put three grooves into to aid alignment. After rebuild.

Cheers, I remembered that!

yes, sorry. 900rpm not 90. My brother has the nanocom. I'll see if I can get a reading when he comes round.

Right, got her running but she's very lumpy & idling at around 90rpm. So does that mean I need to slightly loosen the second row of bolts on the FIP and knock it forwards a touch. Guess the pump needs to be rotated anticlockwise a touch too. I'm still following Datateks plan as per timing but...

Right it's back in. It felt okay - no resistance. Here's a before picture of the woodruff key before I removed it: And here's after: Does that look okay to you? Just checking... Nearly forgot to put the brass nut on at 50NM before pulling the flywheel locking pin out...😨

Could the bolt be a bleed nut?

Bet the engineers didn't know either. Just thought it looks nice. Rustic...

Right. I just went ahead & did it; 90NM for the threaded inspection bung, 25NM for the inspection bolt & 45NM for the delivery value holders. All went well. FYI: I didn't torque it up like this. I had the steel end nipped up in the vice not the aluminium. Still don't know what this bolts for...

Cheers! I think these are the correct RAVE torque settings for the FIP but I can't see the correct torque for the larger threaded bung.

How do! Three weeks later & not much done. Been waiting on a workbench to attach a vice properly which took the best part of two weeks while I also accidentally ordered just one metal advance gasket which meant waiting another week. I've got most of the seals replaced now but I was going to...

Cheers, Datatek. In that case I'll leave it.

Right it's out... The woodruff key looks a little chewed on one corner as does the sprocket keyway. Will it be okay or need replacing? The car was running sweet as a nut besides the leak. Maby it's best just left as is...

The RAVE manual doesn't mention using an adapter sleeve.
