Looks good.
Along the same lines as benn is thinking id move the fuel pump relay and move the engine loom to between the bulkhead/turret if its possible aswell as moving the car loom section to over the top of the wiper motor as iirc that looks slighty better.
What is the round plug for anyway?
Too late. Its all wired in and running now. And TBH i CBA moving it all and it doesnt bother me that much!!
The round plug is needed to connect the engine into the original Nova loom.
Bit of a set back today. After getting the engine running, it was very lumpy. Changed a few of the known problem sensors, dizzy, arm etc...still no good.
Thought maybe it needed a good run to sort the lifters out. Tried again today, would not fire at all. Check the compression...no compression on no3 cylinder. Took the cam cover off, the lifter on the inlet side would move freely up and down under the cam lobe. Oh dear...
Camshaft off, lifter out, wobbly spring....broken valve. ****ing gutted TBH.
Took the head off, luckily the valve stayed in the collet and didnt drop into the cylinder. Its marked the piston but i can get away with that. Will sort parts and rebuild this week.
Pics in a mo..
Not good, but better then it braking at 5.000rpm!
Yeah i know. Just ****ed off. Had it in running, was starting to near the end (after nearly 8 years. Any longest ever rebuild gen lol), then this.
Gutted for you Pete........ trust me when I say I do know how you feel!Quote:

Re the x5 plug,you dont the plug as you can join all the wiring in the foot well, looks much better. Not being rude to you, but the x5 plug in therei s normals seen as a bodge.
Why is it a bodge lol it comes on the standard loom ffs...
Anyway..pic of offending item.
