Can I just use this thread to say a big thank you to the guys behind The South Coast Workshop as it's now called. They really did help me out of a tough spot with my four. Barry and Mike have done some excellent work getting my engine timing just perfect. not to mention sorting out years of neglect and poor servicing....Hopefully once I get all the photos together I will put a restoration thread together.
If you live in the South of England and need a GT-Four specialist look no further...Truly fantastic service and I learned so much from being there and "helping" the guys where I could (more like hindering, but I was trying to be helpful).
So many complications arose.... such as some bolts had just been glued to the block, because there were no threads left,a massive oil leak, overtightened bolts, sheared bolts that needed to be tapped and re bored. It was not fun for them to work on, but its all sorted now and I am very pleased with the out come.
