Update, third engine on the engine stand yesterday and come to start time, zip, nothing, buggerall ! Starter motor is U/S !
Off with the upper plenum-not such a pain as its made out to be here- and off with the lower-this one neither !
Took out a very corroded ally starter from the v, its been submerged in water for a very long time. Will have it swapped out tomorrow.
I could not get the 2001 year model engine as planned but did settle on a 1991 model again. Cam belt and Aux. belt looked very "new" and all the tensioner`s are noiseless and free.It just looked very good, hope it is good on the inside as well.
