Re: photo of my CT engine for comments
Hi All, I have realised today that my engine is a CT not a CU as stated on the reg...although I think the seller advertised it as a 1986 1.6 come to think of it. The van is 1983 and the odometer is just over 17K, which I assumed to be 117K, but now I'm not so sure. Do you think the engine could be ...

Yes, technically not illegal, but won't comply with CoP11 guidelines, so can't be certified as such. Your insurance company may not like that, and you hit the nail with findin...

Re: Paint Your Wagon - with a roller!

Anyone know what and who can supply decent alternatives for parts 6 and 7 on here? Pipe 7 on my bus is wrecked (age/weather and heat) but I'm not sure what folks are using as alternatives nowadays...

Re: 2.0 CU timing /running issue
sounds like either the dizzy has been moved round 180* on it's shaft (common thing esp. after rebuilds) or the vac isnt working on the dizzy - have you checked all the vac hoses are connected to the right places, there are a few of them on a std setup

Re: 2.0 Aircooled cylinder head
you 'can' do this with the engine in situ however it's a real pain in the jacksy.. you have to bend tinware and fight with the tinware seal etc... dropping the engine is the easiest way if you have the means todo so.

Re: From CT to CJ Engine
5 grand?! BLIMEY! you can get a recon elite engine for around 2K!
What exactly is up with the existing lump? the CT engine is very similar to a beetle/bay engine so the common spares are cheap and plentiful (heads/barrels/pistons etc)
