thank you all,
i have a cam cover so need to paint pulleys
steve, i know, ideally yes, but i only had that one so it will do the job i hope, no leaks any way
karl, are they yours? you want them back dude?
car is running bang on, few things left to fit, nothing major tho, just cambelt cover etc, done 100 mile oil change this morning, changed starter motor and re positioned exhuast as it was catching, feels good to be back in it, just wants a good clean prior to cumbria on sunday
