Phill Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 1000 miles is done at last. This morning so far, car driven for a warm up, oil drained, heat exchangers off and rocker covers off. Now waiting for engine to be properly cold. Need to go and get a set of 3/8 socket extensions so I can reach the head studs nuts for retorquing. I forgot, 10 litres of VR1 ordered hopefully to arrive Monday. Taking it nice and slow and steady, no need to rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proporsche Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 maybe silly question but why did you take the heat exch.off? Ivan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 Not a silly question. Not necessary in normal circumstances I know but as I do not have a distributor I wanted to be sure I was at the correct position by being able to see the exhaust valve, open or closed. They also need a clean and while they are off I can inspect the underside of the engine more easily. Out of interest, I have put the engine at TDC (exhaust valve at cyclinder 1 is closed) and there is a tiny bit of wiggle at the rocker as expected. However, there is a little bit of wiggle at cylinder 2 as well. Is that normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 Well, valve adjustment is the new worst job on an IB, for me anyway. I will save my pennies and get someone else to do it next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phill Posted January 15, 2020 Author Share Posted January 15, 2020 Well the car swallowed all 10 litres and it's not enough. Need to put in another 1/2 ltr I think. It's very gloopy, surprisingly thick going through the funnel. Car is deffo quieter too. Look forward to getting out on the open road for better noise test.
