Series 2 2.25 diesel rocker shaft orientation

G'day Folks,

I have been careful and taken things to bits with photo's so I know how it came apart and could put back as it was but would like to have a bit of confirmation from others who have gone before...

...sodding Green Book has let me down - nothing specified in there - and the parts catalogue picture looks a bit vague so I'm not 100% sure.

Whilst there are four (main) positions possible I'm going to limit it to two pictures as I'm fairly sure the extra drilling is meant to be towards the front of the engine.



The alternative position is turning the shaft 180 degress to get this =>



I think the second picture is wrong and (therefore) the first picture is correct.

Can anyone confirm this?

No.

But that's the wrong colour. It'll never start.

Oh of course - thanks

I see I have the second pedestal in the wrong place in the picture

(Despite having taken pictures of the parts being dismantled, I have to look closely and make sure I have actually paid attention!)

Cheers - last year I heavily invested in a 70 / 80 euro Sony point and shoot thing as the mobile telephone pictures weren't much cop. The Sony thing gets left in "Party mode" and I just swear at the damn thing when it doesn't flash or when it flashes too frequently. I have an ongoing battle with photography technology!
