Hi Folks - Update on the Transits engine....................
Matt phoned me this afternoon and he said he has bad and good news!
1. The timing chain had slipped 3 teeth, ( Matt says the other people must have been towing it trying to get it started :( :( )
2. So altho timing chain and adjusters only had just over 5000 miles on them, he has installed the new chain and adjusters anyway.
3. Engine is now running but poorly !
Matt thinks that when the other people towed it they bent a valve!.
Normally on the mk6's when you have a bent valve it also breaks the cylinder head (hopefully not)
but we will only know once the head is off.
4. So it is engine out and cylinder head off (luckily I had already brought a complete top end rebuild gasket set and bolts etc...........)
Matt is saying he is extremely busy at the moment, So probably will be 4-5 days before the next update.....
