A610 in the Rat's nest

Liner protrusion test as per book use a straight edge and feeler gauges. Sent head if for a quick skim. Hopefully refitting saturday will let you know the outcome. Regarding gaskets bought 2 complete sets of ebay.

Just being peevish Davey boy
Haynes 25 shows a chimp with a rule and feelers .Renault show a dti gauge ...I use a known ground flat and feelers .Old endcap or the like will suffice .

Nice clean box .
I hate putting dirty shite back on a new lump so GUNKed it a bit .

You just can't help yourself!

Should help identifying future oil leaks. I'd given up trying to see what was new and what was general crud.

Well there won't be any leaks coming from the drain plug as the fecker won't come out When was the oil changed last

I shall pop round the corner and get a nut welded on ,heat will shift it .GTA Subframe is with him at present being converted to 610 ...Just needs a few extra bits putting on .A bit of beefing up and some guide tubes for the handbrake cable as they are leading on 610 and need looping round .

ARB ...

Droplinks were fecked ,one badly the other OKish but still weak .
SimonAuto has re-manufactured as no longer available .OK but not as rigid as the OE version was .Hobson's choice .
Also the frame bushes are goosed .Luckily I have a set for JIL on a fatter ECup bar so will check with Simon and get some more ordered .

Lee a jubilee clip will effect balance. I would normaly offset be 180 however you kook like you have done the opposite on the inboard end which will cancel out. Dave

OK we knew about it but it still makes me shudder Will need addressing before next MOT .

On the trail of the copper pipes ...goes to rad bleed tube .

Fuel cool missing ?


Time to take a deep breath/reflect and have at the front before popping the rear back in .Can't be having all that weight with it up in the air .
Not looking forward to attacking the front suspenders at all

Checking bits and bobs so that I have the best chance of the new lump firing up without strain .....Finding a few ' issues ' .




Also sending injectors off for a clean ...

Does anyone know the Turbo spec on 610 ? Trim ,ARs etc
