Strange.. Id measure the valves to see if they protrude the head.

Driving at 56mph versus 75mph is 75% so a 6 hour drive becomes 8 hours. If you think that two hours of extra driving in a particular day is not any considerable time, then I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. As I have stated many times I...

it does hasn't run for 5 yrs i'd like another one day.. was a nice motor when it ran.

I have a space in the next skip going to the frag next week lol Got an engine in it ??

So after a stupid number of hours working on the new improved HV and LV junction boxes and doing a brain transplant by installing a new VCU I still have a load of work to do but today I finally was able to take it out for a test drive. This is...

Seen this for many years tis very entertaining you just know its going to end in tears. No wonder gene pools need life guards. 🤣🤣

What did you have done?

nowt much left of it to be fair. ;)

Your describing my tratter well not so hot more like stream 🤣 🤣

Hot tub wiv a roof cos it rains a lot in Scotty land!!!!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

Careful - we don’t want OP thinking that people should just do things and report back

D2 with a rear tub haha seen a couple & a lad on here was building one it looked superb too. :cool:

Leaks a bit, mind!;)

No use, it's the rear tub which he has made a hot tub out of!!

Drove it for the first time in over a month. :)

Which half I need a couple of bits for my D1 :p

So the marks have been there since you split the engine originally.

I have 1/2 a D2 in my garden :cool:

Which of the above do you have planted in yer garden....

Wow!!!!! You've changed your standard response, you must be getting that bored!!

Checked the swivel preload (again) and filled both front hubs up with nice new grease. Changed the a frame balljoint (what a **** of a job), tightened the rear right wheel bearing, replaced the UJs on the rear prop, tried to see why my rear diff...

better off getting a later TDV8 L322 that will cruise at 80mph at 1100rpm, rather than trying to needlessly modify an utterly wánked out 22yr old L322.

Haw!

Well the other panels are all fine so I think it is just the bonnet. It does look nice though (overall).

Stop procrastinating & put yer money where your mouth is. Buy a set of diffs & chuck them in, you can have the last laugh if it works or will you do a John Darwin disappearing act. 🤣 🤣

Oh I thought I was the only 1 ignoring it

No. Ignore it with the rest of us.

Had the head skimmed previously by too much & the valves have hit all pistons. ??

In your OP you say it’s to have a lower RPM when driving at highway speeds. Is this the sole reason then? Would dropping down to say, 56mph not be a better option for you? It would be unlikely to add any considerable time to your journey -...
