Hi LRA, I know your concern and thanks for the advice, I was going to stick with standard bolts but these are the ones sold by YRM for the locations I am fitting, they are graded at A4-80 which matches the metric grade of 8.8. 90 wolf - Jasmin http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic39408.html

Okay after my little trip away I've managed to get a few hours in on the V8, it was rubbish weather so I decided to tackle the engine, I have spent some time cleaning it but I think it's a longer process yet
The gunk I have removed from the heads/rocker covers has been mental.

What's the mileage on the V8?
Is it just a strip/clean/inspect, I've looked at mine now, and I think it's long overdue a camshaft
Yours looks the same as mine, suffering from the "Black Death"  80" 80" 86" 88" 90"
Wanted, Forward Control Anything considered. |

Not too sure on the mileage I will have a rummage in the box marked x to confuse the enemy my speedo is hiding in
it started as a strip/inspect then some funds freed up so I bought a few upgrades to fit, for now I'm not removing heads/pistons as the cylinders still show honing marks.
The black sludge I think Stems from a few missed services and the time it's been stood still, the sump oil was still fresh when I got it. 90 wolf - Jasmin http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic39408.html 90 V8 - Maggie http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic42564.html 110 TD5 - Buggsy http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic59029.html 52HG25 lightweight https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic72342.html D3 Hse - Fiona Capri 2l S - Anna Think I might have a problem............ |

Okay a little bit of a boring update as pics of cavity waxing are far from exciting but with two litres pumped into the chassis I think I have covered most of it, my endoscope should be back in the uk tomorrow so I will have to check.
