What did you get for Christmas ?

[jleyton]

What did you get for Christmas then ? I hope you all got what you wanted - car related, of course

Throughout the year, I make a list of things that I've seen and would like, but which I can't really justify buying I also make a note of the relevant website etc. Come Christmas time, when people ask what I'd like, I email them my list - simples

It makes life easier for others and means I get what I want, and no unwanted pullovers and hankies.

Well, on this year's list was a new engine - proper V8 of course - and I got what I wanted

Cheers

Julian

Hey Julian I hope your going to post progress pictures of your engine rebuild. Maybe build a miniature stag for it to go in .

Hi Julian,

A word of advice do not remove the cam rockers from the plastic spruce before you realise each one is individual and the identification for each one is on the plastic spruce that you have already thrown away ! ask me how I know that

Julian.

Please let me know how you get on with the timing belt, its too loose and slips, if you try and add a bit of tension, the crank bends and the timing slips.

Enjoy.

Thanks John and Paul - I'll try to remember to let you know how I get on.

Cheers

On the car related front I received a monopod from my eldest daughter, I then decided to add a new 24-70mm lens to help with taking shots of my Stag.

My lad bought me some bling.. Stainless airbox cover and air inlet V8 plate. I've heard that they can scratch easily, any advice appreciated on what's best to use to keep them polished up?

Give them a light spray of clear lacquer. If they get scuffed use a metal polishing kit on them.
