Really testing my patience this quick tidy up is !!!!
So you know I had to space the crank gear out 30 thou to suit the new torrington timing gear bearing, well no worries BUT I did forget the knock on effect !!
You see the harmonic balancer also pushes out 30 thou, thats easy, except now the water pump pulley and the alternator need to move as well.
Back to the shim box !! Dont have any, so ordered some today.
Next thing, I was hoping to use rubber bushes in the lower control arms now that i am ridding the offset bushes, yeah right !
I don't normally bag companies but Mackay rubber bushes don't fit, the shells into the control arms are as loose as a Kings Cross local Sunday lunch time !!!!!!
Back to the whiteline, the comparison in the shells is amazing, they fit nice and tight like there supposed to. You can probably sence the excitement I have in relation to product control right now.

Really bugs me how this world is going, not just from the frustation but the waste as well, those Mackay bushes are usless and will just go into the bin. Id'e throw them at the pimply sales guy, but its not his fault its the overseas manufacturing and the lack of quarrrrrity control ( did i say that right ) !!
Starting to get anxious, time ticking away !!!!!!!
