Here is the post I found about emptying the plunger before reusing. Torque setting 52 ft lbs by the looks.

That is 70.5 Nm for those that use proper torque units

You better stick with Metros / Maestros and such wonderful cars if you want to use those funny measures and not a mainland European properly metriced car

Ok, so it's tight enough that I can't turn it by hand

I doubt I could have moved mine by hand.

Yes, but you're not a Scottish rugby player :evil:

Thanks for this, a good excuse to order a 32mm deep socket for the tool box!

Pretty sure mine has some residue on it but never thought much of it. Will clean it up and give it a tweak.

Yup

Just had an Oil Service today with the advisory of a slight oil leak in the engine, probably the timing chain tensioner. Same problem as above I assume, not able to fix this myself though

Felt like it was only recently you had the inspection service!

Have you got a socket set Mark. If do buy yourself a 32mm socket and nip it up.

Or ask where you had it serviced to nip it up for a drink.

 

[flimper]

Is it really that easy Steve? I am completely clueless with stuff like this as you know

 

[srhutch]

It is. If your passing Burgess Hill one morning let me know I'm happy to meet you and nip it up for you even.

Cheers might take you up on that
