What's the best/safest method for removing the carbon

Ohhh goody I'll have words with brother Lovejoy

Bits slowly coming together Got the crank from David + some main journals

Ebayed Clutch kit arrived this morning ,QH kit QKT1780AF for a 25 turbo ,it's all Valeo ,the thrust bearing is slightly diff construction but identical where it matters .Got a few other 25 bits with it, may be of use ,Fram fuel filter ,barbed type but can be made to fit I think ,secondhand dizzy and rotor + a set of 25 pads, free to anyone that wants them .All for less than the price of an engine mount

Just a thought can I be using the 2.8 baccara cams in the turbo Or have I just Get me coat

Not as a straight swap, are they usable for reprofiling

If the cam pulleys are identical to the turbo on the 2.8 then most likely yes, and they could be reprofiled too, but you can't do any of that if you are running standard management.

That means you'll need to get Adaptronic......and machine your flywheel....otherwise it wont work!!!
Or drive it up here, get the train back, save yourself a fortune and try your luck with 108 degrees of teeth, an odd gap and some oddfire or other!

He can do it DIY, I could just supply a plug in loom like on yours and fit it in half an hour...Saves going to the barran wastelands of Cumbria..

Not goin there ,they'll shag ya then eat ya

Good point......not sure about the DIY fit though.....I guess if you give him a base map it'll run til he gets it to a RR. Lucky that I got the work done really isnt it!!!!
No Lee, they wouldnt shag you here.....heartland of England these days...far more civilised than the Midlands thats for sure!!!!

Bet I couldn't get a decent curry though ,only square sausage suprise I bet

Square sausages are for the Scots.....Cumberland sausage here!!!!! Award winning curry within 10 minutes of where I live and more at Keswick (20 mins)........remember its tourist country here!!! Cant find anywhere that sells metric fine thread bolts though.......except the Renault tractor place up the road.....who had one size in stock.....just the size for the long rocker cover bolts.....how bizarre!!!!

Got a good source for any fastener you could ever want .70's style engineering hardware shop .You have to ring or fax through the order ,if you just pop in the Big Scarey Bird on the counter (think Russian shotputter ) bites ya head off big style There's a sign on the door telling you not to go in
' I've got 2 pissin hundred orders to make up and you come in asking for one f##ing nut '

Its like the stores at work.....email them but dont go in! I think their motto is 'stores are for storing not supplying.'
I'm offf to stick the turbo back on the old girl.....may be ready for a trial start this afternoon! (when I find out its timed wrongly and the tappets arent set straight and it comes back to bits )

Good luck Fingers crossed
