Thinking out loud Rick 🤔

Thats kind of what I thought. Rebuilt and retimed this lump so many times now I'm beginning to question myself ??? Onwards 😀

Is it possible to fit the 2.7 injection pump 180 degrees out in timing ? Would the engine even run in such a scenario ?

Parts seem to be a nightmare just now. So much stuff "in transit" or bloody quarantined :o I needed some dishwasher parts last week. The supplier in Germany said they're not sending to UK at the moment blaming Brexit and covid :(

Good work mate. Reminds of when I wired spots to the roof bar on the Black Pearl. When I get to that stage on the Trol I'll be going LED. The lumen per watt increment is just amazing. Keep it up :thumbs

Cheers Rick. In the time it's taken to write this my mate has sent me the link to a Russian youtube terrano fan. Turns out there is a difference and what's more it seems to be two teeth different :D He describes the running rough it causes as if he'd just seen the Black Pearl engine running :lol...

OK here's one for y'all. Is the mech fuel pump drive wheel the same as EDC drive wheel ? I assumed they were BUT it seems there may be a different timing position. Anyone know ?

Pump is advanced one tooth Rick ? However I'll put it back to stock pump timing tomorrow. Just made a poor assumption that if cam timing advanced, then so should the pump ??

OK it turns out I dropped a ball cock. Managed to refit the cam but retarded one tooth instead of advanced one tooth �� Heres a quick video of the bag of spanners trying to run in retarded mode. https://youtu.be/GA6Cwj5AupI So, after some spanner action I've refitted the cam to the advanced...

Hey Rick, late to the party here but I guess you've checked bottom end is good ? Piston rings , compression test etc

Cheers Rick one answer worth a tenner right there 👏 What sort of 2.8 lump info are we looking at ?

Hello again troops, anyone still here want to talk engines ? I rebuilt the black pearl engine a couple of years back and after about a 1000 miles it was dead. In essence a bad hone wore away the piston rings resulting in massive blow by. Took it out stripped it down and ever so carefully...

:lol Shamelessly rejoined and paid up again. I hope there are still a few boffins in here as I'm properly stumped on the old Black Pearl engine.:doh I'll start the appropriate tech enquirey shortly :cool:

I remember you doing a major rebuild chassis job years back. Do you still have it ?

Turn it up boyo. Dont bother with the rough tick over instruction. Just fit a micro switch on your throttle pedal. That way you can get proper oomph 😁

Funny old day, had to go to work :eek::o:( Consequently didn't get much done on the Trol but did start attacking my Y61 back axle. I bought them years ago for the 4.6 diffs, then stored them under plastic covers. Seemed like a good idea but the plastic let water in and not out, causing some...

Apparently a CHOP SHOP is motor vehicle theft, a chop shop is a location or business which disassembles stolen vehicles, primarily cars, for the purpose of selling their parts. The term originated from the practice of building a car from two halves by welding them together. If only it was as...

What a lot of bother, I just stream it off my phone . Mind you radio content is generally crap and repeated every hour :o

It's a damn strong section there but had thought of a cut along the gutter line. Then a bit stretch and squish. Defo no rash decisions on this bit as I want it to look factory or as most people say, to look Elty 😁

Simply cut a bit of fuel pipe to suite and replace :thumbs
