    interesting day

    The old girl broke down this morning on the way back from the weekly shop, luck i was only a couple 100 yards from home.
    She just died and when I turned the key the engine made some very odd noises. Got home and started to find what was at fault, after about 20mins or so found that cambelt had jumped a few teeth. re-timed it and tried to start it, no joy.
    Did a compression test and found that cylinders 1,2,3 had little or no compreesion but cylinders 4+5 where ok. So off came the head.
    I`ve got 4 dents in every piston and barrels that look like they have done 195k.
    I looked into replacing the damaged valves and overhauling the head but the cost was thro the roof, this one 850 that I was determind to keep on the road and with the help from dalhousie she will be back on the road soon.

    I was hope to do some work on the bike ready for the summer this weekend but keeping another 850 is more important.

    Been busy this weekend.

    Hi everyone,
    After spending a few hours on Saturday I managed to get a smf flywheel, low mileage clutch, slave cylinder and pipework.
    Up bright and early this morning to start fitting the parts that I got yesterday plus a few other bits and bobs.
    The first thing to do was to fit the flywheel and clutch.



    Next to get bolted on was the s60r exhaust manifold then the 16t turbo.



    After opening the port out on the inlet manifold the 960 TB was fitted, also the manifold got a quick polish.




    Once this was done on whent the gearbox and the fun started....
    The release brg arms pivot is to short so when the gearbox whent on the release brg flapped in the breeze, so the gearbox was removed and the internal slave/brg was fitted, once the gearbox was back on the slave/brg was up against the fingers on the pressure plate. The M56H gearbox with the internal slave that was fitted to the early V70 is different to the M56H box that was fitted to the 850.
    The old slave/brg was in good condition so I will reuse it. I painted the pressure plate in red oxide as I dont like rusty metal !!!!!!!
