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
