2) renew plugs and get it running on 4 cylinders instead of 3
3) replace rear panel from under the rear lights as its rotten
4) overhaul brakes

made a start on cleaning out the fuel system today, What a little bugger to get off!! totally rusted pipes and fixings, Managed to break a lug off the housing in the process and seems its virtually impossible to replace with a new one, can get new pipes etc but not the housing!! Doh!!
also note the fuel colour, defo worth doing.

Righto after not being able to source new fuel housing it was repaired and I had my local hydraulics firm make new pipes
Not to bad at all in my opinion.

So with the tank totally drained I refitted the pump and pipes. Filled with £30 of super unleaded and after about 10 attempts of cranking she fired into life and runs on all 4 cylinders. Changed the plugs too but struggles to rev passed 1500 rpm. When it gets to 2000 rpm it's fine so will have to look into that next
-
Quick update - doesn't run on 4 cylinders so changed the ht leads cap and rotor as they were looking poor with the ht leads terminals green. Started up and still the same checked each lead and all working . It appears that's it number 1 not firing I now suspect either a injector fault or metering head fault but will do a compression test as well to rule out a valve problem. Will update when I get a chance and the rain stops!!
-
Had a spare hour this morning for the old girl so tested all 4 injectors. I was hoping for a fault but would appear they all work. Next step is a compression test.
-
Bugger. Did a compression test today and found low compression on cylinders 2&4. 60psi less. So next time a get a chance and the weather is good off comes the head.
-
after about 6 hours of cutting/grinding over a 3 day period. Finally parted the head from the block. 10 years of sitting in a barn deffo makes for seized EVERYTHING!! Next job is to strip head down but going to be a drama as every bolt holding the inlet manifold on is seized & starting to round off. Will get the head reconditioned then will take the block out and put some new rings and bearing shells in, Will try get some photos up later. Wish I had a nice warm garage to work in!!

Would appear had 8 valve guides stuffed but all been sorted now. Bores look good so going to hone them and refit piston and crank with new shells and rings

Sorry guys been a while since I updated. A fair bit has been done. Engine is nearly rebuilt and ready to go back in. Head & cams & Timing belt and water pump on. Just got to got clutch and flywheel and gearbox and will throw it back in the car. At my current rate of chance to work on it that will prob be months.

Quick update, cars come along nicely but having a few running issues think it's dragging in air from inlet manifold so need to pop it back off and look what's going on

Righto. Well been quite some time since I posted. Work and family commitments plus shocking weather have made for slow progress. However I have now replaced the rotten rear panel. That was fun. Not. Also I have replaced the complete dizzy and new bosch injectors for £200!! Also traced a fault fo the metering head. Waiting a rebuild kit from America at the moment to hopefully cute it. Here's some progress pictures

This is how she currently looks. Only temp fitted lights and bumper to get through MOT. Got the sort the metering head out and now replace the heater matrix as that has now given up on me and leaked all over the footwell. When it's got a new ticket it will be going in for respray then.

Ok been extremely lazy updating this page so after a nudge from Rhyso I'm getting on with it ! Passed MOT with flying colours! Fitted new carpets as old ones were dirty and going threadbare . Has gone on for re spray and us looking :cool: :cool:
