Well, haven't been on here for a couple of days cos i've been changing the engine, but cheers for all your help none the less. I now know what TDC thanks to a haynes manual lol, got there in the end, although been struggling starting it and stuck on the reason all yesterday. Noticed this morning that the HP lead for cylinder 2 was on 3 an visa versa! My mate actually put them on and i never checked em, can't really complain as hes been helping me all week end. So now with that problem rectified she runs a treat! Alot easyer than i thought! Just time consuming getting it out. flew back in!
Only issue now is theres a leak coming from between the gear box and the engine! will it be a gasket or something that need changing? gonna take it off tomorrow an have a look!
P.S deffinatly recommend the task to anyone who is interested in learning a thing or two about there Mk3. Wouldn't wanna do it all the time though!
