I hardly drive the car now ,will definitely let the engine warm up well before I give it a hard time so that the oil has time to warm up as well .

Getting the wiring loom out of the way was a massive pain for sure!Also got pictures of the inlet side and looks pretty good for a car with 220k on it.Inlet to the 3rd cylinder Edited 29/12/14 10:51 AM by Serangan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New intake gasket, fuel pressure regulator and serpentine belt. Also re-ran some wiring while I had easy access and installed new process west cross over pipe. much happier with it now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
