Big one!
Sunday 18th Nov
Managed to get loads done this afternoon, my main aim was to start piecing together the jigsaw again to work out exactly what i have and havnt got. Alot of the parts arent fully torqued up and attached yet but its the biggest idea yet of how things are going
Today i was joined by Simon, Bensilversaxo and Rich (Skorpion)
First thing that was tackled was the air intake box, there was plenty of bits to change here, some seals from the head gasket kit and i wanted to replace all the bolts.
New seals
New and old
On it goes
New water outlet tank
Looking good. decided to do the 16v part in the same yellow as the car rather than a grubby white/silver colour
Port and polished throttle body attached
I started to reassemble the alternator. The brackets were easy to sort out with the exploded citroen diagram. Ill be buying a new alternator at the end of the month
Backing bracket applied
Reassembling of the oil filter & surrounding bits
Filter on
Couldnt resist trial fitting the BTB 4-1 manifold
Thermostat housing reconstructed with new parts. 82degree thermostat from a 1991 1.0 pug 205 instead of the usual 89degree vts one
Quickie of the Cams
Think ill quite like the effect of the polished rocker covers when theyre finished. Carbon coil pack cover looks ace and i think the badge finishes it off nicely
