Got the engine almost fully rebuilt and I have finally got some oil in the engine and managed to check. My timing marks.
The delay was doing the intake plenham and rocker covers with the hydrogrphics. It took a few goes as the activator wouldn’t go on correctly with using a rattle can and having to do the job outside in a slight breeze.
Really pleased so far though and over the moon with the timing marks. Grenade pin all nice and free too
They are a bit of a strange one.
Previous owner got 2 13ts cheap. Unfortunately they were from a, I think he said scooby.
That then required a front manifold to be made and another adaptor coming from the exhaust manifold in the rear.
The cost must have been more than a pair of mitsi turbos.
He had not had them refurbished and they were not the best.
I’ve had hybrid internals installed though with 360° bearings in.
They work as a normal mitsi set would but are a bit convoluted for my liking.
His reasoning was if he ever needed to replace them he could get scooby ones cheap again.
If I ever need to replace them I’ll be going for mitsi manifolds and turbos.
They shouldn’t need replacing but you never know.
