got the engine running after awhile of playing,
but it was making a loud rubbing noise from the the timing chain area,
i fitted a duplex timing chain but didnt know i had to modify the bloody cover,
so i had to drain all the new anti freeze i put in take the radiator out, lift the engine take all the pullys off, ruin a gasket just to do it

so now im stuck until i can order a new one,
heres a pic



will update you tomorrow if i can get a gasket

heres a vid of it running for 2 minutes :L

WOOO car is all done, been driving it all night and it feels good,
so much more torque than the old one :L
really tempting to put my foot down,
only put it down a inch max and it was pulling really well, cant wait to see what it like when i open it right up

gonna get set the timing and mixture tomorrow :)

came home from cornwall at 4pm after a 200 mile drive in a shitty matiz got dropped of at the gaarage straight away and took a proper car for a drive :L

it started straight away after 2 weeks of standing, thought the battery would be dead.
back to driving it now

also i have annihilated my passenger side hub nut :L

ive always had trouble with my wheel bearings coming loose but today they properly went,
brake pedal went all the way to the floor :L
so i have to do that now and im changing the hub too because the bearings spin in side that
