Strange

1. Camshafts wrongly identified in the Haynes Manual !!

 

2. Cracked engine lifting eyes WATCH OUT !!!!

The cracks can be clearly seen just below each bolt hole. The cracks went right through to the other side. I made some more stronger eyes as there was no way I was going to use these again!

3. Multi plug that connects the loom coming from the engine which is to the left near bulkhead was soaking in oil. My only explaination is that oil traveled by capillary action from the leaking oil level sensor plug. This may have had something to do with the engine stall on startup trouble I was experiencing prior to the rebuild.

4. I fitted a new GM replacement clutch kit, this now rattles like a bucket of bolts. Will have to wait and see how much grief this gives.
