Hi Mike part3,When the Screwdriver is pushed up to its high its position then check the markings on the Gears (as above ) if they match I believe that you have found TDC, if not matched then turn again, and keep checking the position of the Screwdriver and the dot & arrow are lined up. This should get your timing about right ready to refit the Distributor and get you going ready for fine adjustment to the Distributer when tuning your car. Good luck Terry (Staffslad1)

Hi - I just completely striped the servo. Used sand paper, sanded by hand. Then a paint which is used industrial pipe work and ships /boats. The paint is called Rust-Oleum (CombiColor) one coat of primer, and two coats of paint. Painted on with a brush. Grey Primer 3380. (anti rust) Top coats Grey smooth RAL 9006 & Black smooth RAL 9006, all anti rust paints and can clean brushes with White Sprits. Its the best anti rust paint I have ever used. Terry (Staffelad1)

Hi Nick part 1. Engine Block and Ancillaries to the engine. is a Cellulose based paint. 500ml Gloss Black Enamel paint ( 7 610 QD ) heat resident up to 105 c. also very high temperature paint Grey Matt Enamel ( HTS ) resident up to 600c so you can use it on the Manifold.Heat resident paints were ordered from BS Supplies. Tell them it is to be applied by hand brushing. BS then mixes the paint up in a machine and you can order whatever amount you want to use. Terry

Hi Mike. Par1.Well Im no expert, but this is how I will do it.. On the Timing Gears there are 2 permeate marks,( dot & arrow ) you line them up together on a bench with chain, next to each other, ( like looking at a clock face, pointing in a 2 oclock direction) When you put everything back in the Engine Block, you re-fit the Chain (Large)Gear to the Camshaft also the Chain (small)Gear to the Crankshaft.

Hi, Terry! I discovered your video blog a couple of weeks ago and have viewed every posting. I am swapping engines in my 74 roadster just now and your postings have been an inspiration to me. You've done a lot of work to your car and it looks fantastic. Keep up the good work and please up date us with part 14 soon. I am dying to see this car finished and you taking it out for a spin! Best Wishes, Peter D.

Hi Nick part 2 Engine Ancillaries that are not attached to the Engine, I use an Anti-Rust paint made by Rust-Oleum. You can get this paint from Decor8, in Gloss or Matt finishers and also get any colour you want, just ask Decor8 and they will mix it for you. After several coats, it seems me to be better quality finish than the paint you get of the self at most Motor Accessories Stores. Terry.

when you take an engine to bits how do you sort out the engine timing when putting it all back together? i know you can mark everything up for realignment but there likely to get lost when cleaning,repainting exc, looking into starting a project soon, ive done a fair bit on cars before but not to that extent so any info will help. ta, mike

Hi Mike part2, While using a large socket on the Pulley Nut (with out the Pulley) you rotate the Engine to get the Gears to fit on the shafts. Then while turning, using a screw driver in the number 1 Cylinder via the Spark Plug hole, you again rotate, then the Screwdriver will move up and down. Terry

How did you get your servo looking like that? Is that just cleaned or did you paint it with something.If it's just cleaned what was the process? Mine looks so grimey.
