Few questions:

Where does this sensor mount on the block - can't find it in the Haynes manual! (Guessing its a temp. sensor)

This mount / bracket seems to be snapped off - what should mount on here? Is it important that is is no longer there?!

Got a crack in this cover - reckon its worth replacing or should I silicon it up? If replace is the option chosen - anyone no anyone selling one? Or a likely place to get one?

you will find that is a knock sensor.
mounts between 2 and 3 i think on the inlet side of the block....

You can try silicone but it may leak regardless once the oil gets hot.

That lug if its been in a Nova has to be cut of to clear the tie bar/ anti roll bar.
Not a problem at all, you would of had to cut it off anyway.

Thats cool then! - Was a bit worried it was going to be something vital!

Yeh! - I came off my bike dirt jumping - ripped all the ligaments off my thumb - got a pin in it now holding the ligaments on! Bit of Sheffield's finest steel!
Broke 5 bones in the last 6 months! :roll:
