Picked up an auto from NC last weekend. Nice body and int, but not running. Owner wrecked the engine somehow and acquired a replacement and paid to have it put in. It never started and was put up for sale, mechanic said the supplied engine was junk. It came with a new set of timing components. the install was boodged. A 'mark' about an inch of circumference away from the real one was used to set the pump, and all this whilst the cam was in split overlap for No.1 cylinder. None of this was exactly obvious until I started putting in the timing blocks. Then I found the right TDC mark, and then moved the cam...and then moved the pump. She lit right off. its O1m behaved itself and took me up the road and back.
Now to gather the bits for a manual swap. And install some manual injectors. VR6/G60 kit awaits( and its flywheel has a mark). As does an EGR and shift cable set. have to decide about the nearly new OEM axles, or to install some new GKN inners on an otherwise fine set of manual axles I have laying about.
cheers,
Douglas
