You didnt tell me you where fitting one....
Right quick update on the goings on, bought some shorter bolts, and some washers, but then though hang on....
So i checked the depth of how far the thread of the bolt is going into the bottom end, and it's got MORE room in the hole then the bolts is long!
So there OK, i checked it on 6 (from both side's) one was close, so i dug out some crap from inside, so either the baffle/gasket is thicker then the ones you used Benn, or your bottom ends got loads of old thread lock stuffed in the sump bolt holes??
More updates soon, as i have fitted everything back together now.

So just before combe i had to re-do the sump (due to a blockage)
Then for peace of mind i used the 20mm bolts, but with washers, so now the pump should stay good, as i also used lock tight.

Also had to replace the temp gage sender unit by the stat housing (at 6am on the morning of combe)
And the night before i sorted my faulty wiper motor out.

So all done, off i set to combe, got there fine, then pulled up in the lanes to go on track (although i couldn't as marshals didn't notice i had no sound check sticker) The Clutch cable snapped! lol
Not my day...

Then i went to Shake spear race way on the Sunday 6/9/09
Got 5 runs in and hit a new PB of 13.5 @ 105 mph
Got vid of it.

and as i went up to do my last run i noticed the car was stuttering/misfiring etc, running on 3 cylinders, i think it's blocked/faulty injector on no2 as i unplugged it and the engine speed did not alter, so after a quick look on SBD site i need to spend £140 for new injectors/plugs/leads this should help make it bit better, then im looking to buy a cam and get the car mapped.
Scott
Scott, it might be something simple like a ht lead on that cylinder, worth checking before spending ££££ on new injectors or whatever.
Change the plugs too
Edit-Oh youve already mentioned that lol
Get the injectors cleaned and tested. Works very very well.
Car looks sweet dude:thumb:

Ad, yeah checked the plugs/HT's etc, and then took the injector plug off on each cylinder, so have a good hunch it's on no2 and it's the injector.
Benn, would do that, but as i need some better plugs/HT's and the injectors are as far as i know the one's i got on/with the engine from way back when it came from the mk2 Astra, so they could be 20 years old as the Astra was a 89! :eek:
Jut though may as well buy some new SBD stuff thats slightly uprated better for the job etc.
Mike, cheers dude, yours will get there soon.:thumb:
Ste, im guessing it must be, as there the Vectra wheels.
