Hi,
I've just bought a P6 mk1 3500 so thought this looked a great place to join for practical advice and discussion
PAE622F is mostly sound, with a slightly dodgy boot floor and a tap from the top of the engine ( job number 1 i think ) but she got back from huntingdon to loughborough under her own steam...
I'm going to take the carbs and rocker covers off this weekend to check her out properly - does anybody have any useful advice on this front? The last engine i dismantled was an opel 2.0 cih engine over ten years ago so this is going to be very different i think! Is it worth getting one of the rimmer bros cam kits with all the gaskets before i start or should i wait and see what the rest of the engine is like first? - guessing it all depends what that tap is - it is pretty pronounced!
I've been told that west end garage in loughborough near the hospital is good for welding on classics so i'll probably ask them to take care of the boot floor!
If you see me out and about in loughborough give me a wave or a beep :O)
Rich.
