I usually leave the securing bolt hand tight, so I can fiddle with the timing once it's running.
Sounds like you're very close !
Well done

Personally I wouldn't bother, there will always be annoil.mist on internals, mainly from idling when the turbo seals aren't as fully pressurised as they could be, when giving it the beans it will disappear anyway.
If it's to make the outside of the engine loom prettier, I'm definitely not your guy, but Corky or one of the other Cheshire Polishing Brigade will be

not sure when it was last run...i guess two years...i was tempted to dismantle the inlet side and soak the injectors in some cleaner... once i have checked the timing\dizzy first..
I'd avoid doing that if you can..... A right PITA when the engine is on the bench let alone in the car. Just try and get it running and put a cleaning aditive into the fuel if you think it needs it.manny wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2017 11:02 pm

Morning sir - okay will do - I was ready to throw in the towel and get the car to my mechanic- but as i am (hopefully) so close - it would feel good to get it going under my own steam... i will be heading out to the garage in an hour- so will report back later.Corky wrote: ↑Sun Aug 13, 2017 10:11 amI'd avoid doing that if you can.....
