Starting the V6 - attempt number one.


A selection of fan-belts were ordered and the size chosen was SPA1120.
It clears the thermostat housing on the inner pulley and allows the alternator to sit just out of the way of the rocker cover so it might be removable. I've ordered another belt for the outer pulley... will they match?

Still deciding how best to modify the Thermostat housing.


Engine and gearbox filled with oil,
Pressure gauge jury rigged.
Oil pump primed with the electric drill and long socket.
Coil, fuel pump and Duraspark unit bolted to plank on top of gearbox. Dead gash...

Starter motor runs OK with spark plugs out.
With plugs in - the jump leads burnt out very quick so proper battery leads were sourced.

I seem to have a spark some of the time.but it looks like I'm 180 degrees out.

Maybe it'll start tomorrow,
