I did the "advance plunger" bellhouse and plate seal today, following Dandys thread and using the nice squidgy green O rings.
This is the most advanced mechanical thing I've done, apart from a power steering pump on a van a few years ago.
It went very well, if not slowly, largely because I was terrified of dropping stuff in silly places! Plus huge learning curve.
Happy to say that the difference is immediate, feels like a different vehicle now all the fuel is going where its meant to
Bonus advantage in that I was granted permission to take it to work, so whilst it was 4°C, raining and windy, I was indoors with a big heater on!
Onwards to the next thing to sort!

Happy fuel times!

Well done.
Looks a great workshop.

Re: Happy fuel times!
Doing anything under cover beats messing around outside in this weather, I spent about an hour going over the van electrics outside today and couldn't feel my fingers when I got back indoors the wind was cutting here on the coast 50 mile up the road from York.
Re: Happy fuel times!
Wouldn't have liked doing yours or mine in the weather we've had this weekend.
Might only be a sheet metal shop (there's a lot of big machinery behind me from that pic) but certainly serves well enough for messing on with cars!

I've got a garage but the pop top prevents the bongo getting in, it was bloomin cold.
