I had to make an extended drill bti in the lathe to drill it.

its cranking but not turning over i know it can be a number of things but what do u reckon?

no spark? i had a similar issue when doing mine but it was fuel pump related

if i disconnect the airflow meter it starts but it backfires, as soon as i connect the airflow meter again it stalls, we thought it could be timing but we checked it and its alright, we think its electrical problem possibly the computer

very helpful info here.

i have to ask a probably stupid question but i am running a gt3540 on high mount with braided lines. can i just put a T-piece on the water outlet as the waterlines wont reach anywhere else. will it work properly if i do this??

Shaun now that you have had your motor in for a while have you had any problems with it? and how many ks do you think you have driven? I want to do the conversion but the mechanics I have been to to install it for me tell me the motor probably wont last 6 months? have you done anything mechanically other than the bolt on's?
