Bits slowly coming together 8) Got the crank from David + some main journals 8)

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 :lol:

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!!! :wink: :lol:
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! :lol: :lol: :lol:

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!!!!
