Todays job suppling a set of 45’s and setting them up on this lovely MK2 Es**rt.

Currently working through a few issues with this customers new engine install.

So far we have found that it has been over fuelling massively contaminating both the spark plugs and engine oil.

There was also an issue of an oil leak from the front of the rocker cover.

The engine oil has been gathering at the front of the head due to the incorrect installation angle currently 2* at the front.

The engine needs to be angled down at the rear to allow the oil the return to the sump via the oil drain at the back of the head.

Hopefully some mounting adjustments new plugs oil and filter along with fuel pressure and carb adjustments should see this up and running as it should be.

Got a retro classic vehicle that needs attention or maintenance get in touch.

Little update on Muttleys engine rebuild the small block Chevy v8 performed faultlessly over race the waves 23.

It’s taken a few attempts to get the sand off the car.

Here’s a few pictures of the event and a video in the comments.
