Thanks for your concern, really appreciated. My 2 daughters and sister in law have been in the thick of it on the front line medical side. Tough times and so much worse than I even imagined. To be honest, the flu I had really kicked the hell out of me and am only just getting back to normal...

Thanks mate, just awaiting the new nozzles. Been really I'll last couple of weeks, thankfully not the covid shite. Just a bad cold, so the usual man flu scenario. Anyway back to normal now and starting to build a go cart from an old quad bike and a Briggs and strat engine I've found loading...

Cheers matey, much appreciated. Everywhere shut around here as I said, so still no luck! And yuuup your right about Clanky fun....The Mrs thinks I fel out with my Jeep as not touched it all week. She doesn't get the logic of no parts cant fix

Thanks mate, as I day the shops are all legally on shutdown over here which is a nightmare. Glad you sorted your lathe out...you can go play some more now . Sound like your motor is in a similar state of fix as mine. Only the other way round. I'm off to do the turbo tomorrow having done the...

A quick question, Can I jut replace the nozzles on the injectors or does it have to go to a specialist? Reason I ask, is that the specialist is shut down at present, is 80 miles away anyway and I can get the nozzles for an 1/8th of the price. I seem to see very conflicting views on this so...

Well thats the bits back on (except the turbo, it was to bloody hot at the time to touch it lol) and yes I did lose the rocker.......... for about a bloody hour....I had to shut my shed door due to the blue air of language eminating from withing....What a dipshit idea that is! Any how, did find...

@ Prof, A true stker like me then....NICE ONE! I was liuck enough back in 2016 to spend a week on the USS John Paul Jones and attend a change of command ceremony on the Missouri. Also a full trip around Pearl Harbour. Something I will never forget .....ever. I am in command of a Sea Cadet...

Sorted.......got 2 & 3 wrong way round. No 4 is peeing diesel out around the seal so will sort that. Smoke is no where near what it was and the smell of parrafin has gone completely as has the heavy knock. So so far an albeit small result. Turbo arrived today and looks pretty good so whilst I...

May have dropped a wee clanger here. She is tring to fire on her own BUT, like a complete dipstick, I never labled the injector plugs. Does anyone havethe wire coolour coding? I have a feeling I have the back 3 muddled up as I do know No 1 is correct as I broke the plug catch pulling it off...

Forgot to add, The deltic run railway engines are still going strong so yuuup, no wonder. Ref the fan cover mod, I cut mine right at the bottom so it parts there. Better than stripping the bloody lot. I have also slighty modified a 13mm socket to get at the bolt behind the viscous fan. Thats...

Ok finally got the injectors our....what an arse of a job! I have also removed the cam cover. No signs of damage to the valves, all seem a ok and the compression test confirmed my thoughts.. hopefully. So back to the injectors.... They were as clean as a whistle as a couple of weks back I put...

Thanks mate....after the whiskey lol, and nights sleep, I'm now refreshed enough to start. I recon I will do a compression test first, as the head will take over a week to arrive. Unsure if you are aware, but over here we are in complete lockdown because of the Covid 19 threat. A new law has...
