Fml. I forgot how long it takes to clean and assemble a head. 

Yeh it’s time consuming that’s for sure but I enjoy doing them for some weird reason haha 

Well I've got it finished now, so I can bolt it down tomorrow.

 

I can't say I enjoyed it much as I've been on my feet all day and evening.

 

I guess there will be some action tomorrow afternoon 

Getting there. Head is torqued down, cam timing set and timing cover on.

 

Plenty more to do but on the home stretch now.

 

What did you set the cam timing at ? 

Both at zero except the intake is 1 degree advanced and I cbf changing it.

 

I got to the point where I was gonna dry fire it and get some heat into it and it turns out the starter won't play ball.

 

Positive to the starter, positive coming from the trigger wire and nothing when I turn the key. I tried bridging it and still nothing.

 

Unless I've missed something I reckon the starter needs replacing.

Dunno if it's related to the starter issue but the panic alarm is going off randomly. Any ideas?

Flat remote battery or even the car battery. In other news I ran out of fuel today with 56 kms indicated.

Battery has 12.4v and remote works from inside the house at 10 metres away.

Maybe it would help to attach the earth strap...
