if anyone has any specific pics they need let me know.

I can also stick all the missing bits back on if needs be. Think i will anyway to keep the weather out.

Even though its under a tarpaulin waters getting in, plugs wells are full of water.

its a big old engine for 1.8 innit, i was thinking it when i done my head, i know it looks big with all the ancillaries on it but even so.

yeah huw....on some old ones (like urs i believe) there is a press-fit pipe entering the head itself , get a pic of urs up....then on later ones(like mine i shall get a pic) they have a cast housing that contains the stat which bolts onto the side....this is a good idea this thread.

good pic of the timing belt RIchard...is that ur engine before u painted it pink?

6 pics down JB, ISCV is on a bracket onto the thermostat housing which is misisng in my pics but you can see the ISCV wiring plug where it should be.

Mr Quoter-vator Joined: 16 Feb 2004 Posts: 7405

ah right same spot...is the stat housing just smaller on the early ones...ie just the size of the stat...?

where is the CTS and sender?
