3 Litre is it a bad engine?

Have Dawes valve to play with too and have used a variable resistor to lower the voltage from the MAF to ECU.

Possibilities still include injector spray pattern and piston rings but I'm not too sure how far I want to get into having the head off etc.

Another thing is that it's auto so that throws in a few more variables on the ECU side, Sport mode and Snow mode for example.

You've got to love your 3.0l haven't you?

I cannot answer that question yet sir as I've yet to live with it day to day yet

I'll soon give you my opinion though and it will be nothing but honest!!!

Keep us up to date with updates and pics as you go, not much write up on the 3 litres compared to the 2.7

I enjoyed doing the stuff I did last May but caught out by Photobucket trying to pull the £££'s in. When I get the time I'll try to update my project thread to put the photos back in and take things up a notch.

very happy with 3 litre in t2, and i said would never have another zd after the y61
cost me 3.5 grand rebuild.

as said problems sorted.

think sometimes on fb, it feels like all lifting and alternative fueling which zd doesn't suit.

my faith restored, would take a later auto trol. well upto 55 plate.....
