Gonna chance the viscous fan to an electric while your in that area. Wading with a viscous fan can cause issues. With the electric you can wire in an overide Off switch inside to knock it off when your knee deep

already got the crank damper bolt off, scare stories everywhere about how hard it is to undo, i just stuck a bar on it and wedged it against the chassis and cranked the engine over, and it loosened no problem lol

 Wading I don't think the puddles he drives through are deep enough to wade in

You got a link to the fabric you used to cover your head lining Steve?
Have you thought about punting it on? I bet you could make a tidy sum now its looking clean.

So carried this on today, first up remove the viscous fan using the special spanner
Fan removed
And the cowl
Oil cooler pipes removed
Radiator and intercooler removed
Bit more room now
Rounded the bolt on the waterpump puller, had to remove my bolt extractors
Aux belt tensioner removed
Damper puller bolt
Pulling the damper off with the puller
Came off a piece of piss actually
Old belt
Then to set the timing and lock in place, line these marks up on the webbing
Woodruff key lines up with the mark above it
Injection pump should then be able to be locked with the pin
Notch on the flywheel should be in the middle of the breather hole
Lock that in place with the pin
Belt off
Tensioners off
Crankshaft pulley was seized solid, ended up getting an angle grinder to it and a chisel
Crankshaft oil seal removed
and replaced
New pulley and tensioners on
New belt on and tension set
Timing case bolts are all different sizes so made a quick template
Removed the timing case crankshaft oil seal
New one in
Timing case and new gasket back on
Old waterpump removed, loads of crappy gasket on the flange
old next to new
cleaned up the mating surface as best as possible
Greased the new bolts
Bolted on
Now of course a good job isnt right without something going wrong, and when I was doing the waterpump i noticed the power steering pump was loose and flapping around like a fanny in the breeze
The problem being part of the casting broke off, and one of the bolts sheered, no idea how or when that happened
It was also leaking fluid
So new pump ordered, cant do anymore til that comes, this is how it stands

Cheees.
What's the plan for the power steering pump? Hope the other bolts can nip it enough or try and tack half the threaded piece back on?

Just checked the picture again. Its the pump that's broken not part of the block.
Fair play for jumping straight into it. Different ball game with older motors and something thats not familiar.

Good work Steve. I am impressed with this.
Was looking forward to seeing the rad cowling painted black though.
