TDI Powers 350 Engine Rebuild

[appyarry]

It has just taken me 2 solid days just to cut my hedge and I only cut through the power cable once! I still need to clear up all the cuttings. Pete

You need to buy a wife! Lots to choose from, mine never cuts the cable and always tidy up afterwards.

I have a wife and I didnt even have to buy her!! she's great round the house and italian so food is brilliant, the down side at the moment is she has a bun in the oven so has to keep resting.

It has just taken me 2 solid days just to cut my hedge and I only cut through the power cable once! I still need to clear up all the cuttings. I have taken 2 ft off the width on my side and 3 off the top and its still 3ft wide and 8ft tall

Hedge + Land Rover = no hedge to cut any more

Almost finished!



Georges valve spring compressor makes light work of refitting the cleaned, polished and reground valves..

Then 4 coats of paint...



Already to put back together with a new piston kit



Piston slid into cylinder with ring compressor then fitted over dowels to connect the gudgeon pin and circlips



Polished head and new o rings next.. and the remainder of Georges stainless nut and bolt kit!



Almost done



Just the starter motor and timing gear and a 6 minute run on the test bed..

All back together, just need to fire it up - but at a more sociable hour!

meant to ask but as you know been somewhat distracted with life...

What was the state of the sprag, cam pulley (i know the lower had a few marks, I had 'skimmed it' myself as much as I dare) and the cam belt rollers bearings?

Did i keep the kick as well as the gear select? I know I took something off for ease of transit?
