Okay, so as mentioned today was all about sorting the timing and oil ready for the MOT....
I had previously done the static timing, had to borrow a timing light but found it was easy enough...
Good news the timing was not far adrift at all, small adjustments and it was bob on....
On to the oil change, easy enough the old oil was proper horrible though with lots of scum in it, i suspect that was the 30 years of sitting being cleaned out (the oil was new but just wanted to run it in the engine for a short time to kind of clean it out)...
Pulled the sprocket cover off and the chain guard for some polishing, all looks pretty clean, you can just make some of the fire damage at the top of the image in the connector cover
Filling in... not sure if this was originally red or not, there was some residue in there, I will tidy it up once its dry...
With the new oil she sounds like she is running a lot sweeter, i also checked to make sure oil was reaching the tappets and cam and it was so overall pretty pleased.. Friday will be the big day, not sure I will do much until I get then, save me breaking something that is currently fine...
And there she is as it stands..
Pretty boring really, once the MOT is done there is plenty more that I want to do before spring so it should get a bit more exciting!!
