Hi guys and gals

What's the best way to set the tappets from scratch,rebuilding for very first time.

remember many a year ago when i was a lot younger back in pommie land with the 4 cylinder motor if number 1 was open set say number 5,is it the same for the grey motor.

Hope someone can help.

Cheers

I'm still learning about these motors, asked for a repair kit for vacuum pump on a grey motor and got the top half one,didn't realize what was missing until i stripped it down.

Hi all

got a repair kit for the fuel pump but only does the top half ?, is there another kit to buy or do you have to modify something else.

Hi all
decided to change the rear diff on my fe ute, but up came a problem the universal joint fits the diff but not the prop shaft.
diff is a 1 inch location and the prop shaft is 15/16th.the joint is 1 inch all round.
I have got a fe sedan which i'm restoring and already swapped the diff,so i tried the prop shaft and it fits,but is that the right way or is there a universal joint that will do the job.

yours

Dave w

Thanks guys
looks like i will go with the round one's
