Right another update.

Finished my tea at 8pm and was in the garage for 8.15pm, engine in the car by 10.15pm. The missus had to give me a hand lowering the lift whilst i tried to ge tthe gearbox end down first - thanks Tracey!

Borrowed me mates engine lift - thanks Yoof for your help!

I'll let the pics do the talking.











Mist


Another couple of nights in the garage will hopefully get the car running.

I'll be using the washer bottle for the methanol/water mix and i have ordered a 2litre new bottle for the screenwash supply.

The kit is ERL Aquamist 1S.

i'll be running a 0.3mm jet just after the intercooler and might put a 2nd jet in nearer the TB but its going to be all experimental for the time being.

Engine started 1st time but there is a whining noise coming from the water pump area, took the cambelt cover off and it sounds like the noise is coming from the water pump but hard to tell.

Very high pitched whining, i am thinking it could be the water pump but its new so surely it can't be faulty, anyone else had the same problem or know what is could be?

The cambelt tension is ok so its not too tight.

Hmm, I haven't known water pumps new doing that. But it's not to say it's not faulty just because it's new. Was it a good brand or genuine one ?
