only question is how well is the manifold sealed now its down? ans why mor probs one side than othe, does it men its not down right? it was a race against parmatex curing time to get any of the bolts to start initially lol

hello right been and had a butchers at the inlet and got the waterpump back on. it seems to me when I looked down the first bolt hole which is one the bolt would not go all they way in (but i did torque it up using a nut as spacer if you remember) and is pointed to by a yellow screwdriver in...

thanks mate, so many ancillery attached o the front cover as I have a/m a/c on this one too i was waorred about he rest of the bolts holding

right got the waterpump tigged up, for a NOS I can say the casting was like an aero :o well done landrover,no wonder it broke :( i wont be able to do up the 4 long studs through front cover and waterpump to block to the same 27ftlbs as the other front cover bolts, does that matter?will it load...

that box of tricks looks scary!

I use hx7 in the bmw but am a beliver of 20w50 with lots of zinc in the rv8

you got a winch on that bumper?

ha ha, yeah i saw that a while back- mind you there woulnt be enough left :p

A mate rang to say the water pumps been welded, he said it was a ****e casting like an areo, that was a nos gen one too- no wonder it cracked he said. Pics to follow.

its not hooked up to rad or car atm neway thankfully :)

not a bad idea mate!

sounds great :(

good news, wish i knew bout my inlet being seated or not :p

With the new coil

they unc though right? asked a mate in engineering to see what he can find, somehow I ended up with an extra bolt ???? :p I was also gonna ask on the valley cover and the p76 carb inlet one bolthole is a cut out slot in both rather than a hole, wtf is that for? :p

Not sure James Martin will know he had them done for me, what shall I do now, seems odd it was 3 in the middle one side and just one nearer the end the itv, maybe I am just worse casing it like I do lol- q is what's the next move. What size and thread are the bolts so I can get a tap?

ahh ok, thanks, I agree on thread check- what size and thread should they be? You may be right doc as efi p38 heads on a 1973 engine

yes all torqued up, they were v hard to get started though. i put wire down the holes and they are deeper than the bolts so it makesno sense the me, you say 8.8?

same with this p76 inlet, nearly burned it by 1am, too feckin hot and bothered! see my thread for details-landies do test us, why do we do it I wonder

I got the sump on ok and the valley gasket but what a fecker that inlet is. bear in mind its a taller wider p76 block, we used two tubes of permetex for rear cap, front cover, sump and both sides of vally so was running short and only had there quick gasket maker left so had to be fast although...
