Phew so my trol just scraped in then... LOL.
Been following your thread mate and good news that you're on your comeback trail with the engines.

Just a quick update, engine is all back together and should be back in the car in the next couple of days.

Mines an 08!!!

If it happens to mine, I'll be paying you a visit I think GeeYou!!!

Mines an 08 aswell.

I have been praying every night before bed to the patrol god that he wont sacrifice mine and so far he has been kind to me.

Got the engine started this arvo, sounds good, oil pressure good at idle, haven't driven yet, just need to replace fuel hoses tomorrow as they have small cracks in them and I'm losing fuel pressure and have to prime the pump to start if left for a bit. If that's all it is then bonnet back on and back on the road!

interesting your fuel lines are cracked, sounds like something to change for all of us.
Thanks for sharing and yoo hoo back on the road again,

would an irregular movement on the oil gauge translate into pulling your motor apart.?
