Sorry Josh, can't help with the belt but, ' top marks ' for the post! Very easy to read and understand - keep up the good work.

I'm not having a shot at you, I'm ' fair dinkum'.

Cheers, Greg

I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

Done it 6 times to 3 5sfe's and 1 3sfe, and 1 3sge and my proto-type 5sge. all use the same S-block in the 4 banger series. Just different head/top end configurations.

What questions you got :P??

Listen to Ian, he is a servicing expert. Might be a bit big of a job to tackle, especially if you haven't had much mechanical experience before.
