Engine bay starting to take shape now!!! the engine has only covered 20,000mls but as this was a working ute on a busy farm i thought id strip it down to check for wear and luckily couldn't detect any at all so was put back together with a new timing chain and tensioner... also the two crank seals were renewed.....
I never went down the unleaded head route on this engine and plan to run on petrol additive instead.....

Cheers Peter and Bob... I'm going to have a day on the interior today, I bought a carpet set for the ha saloon as I thought it would need only minor modifications to fit the commercial but it's needed a lot more work than I thought mainly because of a wider gearbox tunnel i should of just bought some carpet and started from scratch myself...
I've no idea why the van has a wider tunnel!!
