And from here on your confidence will grow. Job well done and if ever in doubt, Landy's aren't strictly a religion on here so don't be afraid to ask about other makes.

I built this for my missus to putt around in when she's not driving the D2.
'69 LC GTR, stroked 308, Supra 5spd and salisbury LSD.

Good stuff Mick. Love that cam overlap when cold:cool:

So, when the Tdi chucks it in.....you know where that engine is going to end up:twisted:

It's the Gilmer drive causing the noise . I went with a double row timing chain instead of straight cut gears .

And it SHALL be named HR Puffin Stuff:p:p:p

Sounds good, plenty of whine off the belt drive!

Have you run the cam in properly?

Sounds awesome i love holden 5ltrs.the clips on your plug leads are they plastic or metal i had the metal ones & after a while they started to cause a short between the leads replaced them with plastic ones & was fine after..
GREAT work i love the sound of it..
