A little Mechanical Help required please

Postby photomike666 » Fri Feb 15, 2008 11:37 am

Have to get the van running soon, which requires me to fit a new head.

Most of this I can do, but I lack a timing light to set up the distributor. The recon head needs all the gaskets fitted, the valve clearances set and the timing done.

Anyone able to provide a timing light for this weekend (Short notice I know), I would appreciate it. I'll start the job on Saturday afternoon and be there all day Sunday too probably. Should anyone wish to help that would be cool too - I think there may be a few crownies in the fridge :D

if you can come up to sydney, sure :)
but for the cost of the petrol you'd be able to afford a xenon strobe, cost me about $45 for mine from supacheap.

Personally i'd stay the hell away from the ones that use neon, only good in a darkish environment apparently.

As the van has no head it would be free on the petrol front - I'd just have to push the damn thing.

Not really a worry about light either as the motor is in a hole between the front seats.
