4. used degreaser and a steam cleaner to very limited success in cleaning the block, out came the water blaster which did a better job
5. engine washed with water blaster, and the dist turned right way round...
6. do the spring bolts need to be special high tensile or could i get replacement ones from bunnings
harmonic balancer purchased of ebay, await delivery friday yay...
My plan was to see if this engine would start and was working before spending too much on it if its no good but i think the balancer is needed for the timing. I will need to jack up the front of the engine to get access to the balancer otherwise wont be able to remove due to clearance issues...
I did turn the motor over by hand and had the first spark plug at the top of its stroke using a screwdriver thru the spark plug hole.
