A bit of an update - it's in, but needs all the little bits doing. Bellhousing bolts, radiator, hoses, cables etc.
Turned out the carbs were showing signs of leaks so they're having a new gasket set fitted. He's going to do transmission fluids as well, seeing as the engine will. be 'fresh'. Then an MoT and we're back on the road. Looking like it'll be Jan for a return ![]() |

So, catching up from the last one, here's some more pics
Engine built and ready to go in the hole ![]() Click image to enlarge Said hole ![]() Click image to enlarge Carbs rebuilt and fitted ![]() Click image to enlarge MoT station - yes, the Mot ![]() ![]() ![]() Click image to enlarge I will ask for some videos with sound for the next update. While it's been off the road the rear diff seal has decided it doesn't want to seal any more so a new one will be going in once it can be sourced. Then a running in oil change and diffs, transmission fluids and it'll be back with me ![]() The engineers report will come with it - If anyone has any experience or suggestions for dealing with the DVLA and insurance for a change like this all will be welcome. 90 V8 CSW - 1988 Last edited by Ranger 6 on 19th Feb 2025 10:35am.

Seal for the rear diff has arrived and he's going to use it for a couple of days, then an oil change and off we go. 90 V8 CSW - 1988

The 90 has been in use as a tip truck for the last couple of weeks to get some miles on it.
A bit of ticking occasionally from one of the lifters, so keeping an eye on that. I've entered a navigational event this weekend which is taking place on the tank driver training area at Bovington Camp. Known as the Saxon Express it's a good fun event with off-road orienteering and other challenges, so we'll see how things go. 90 V8 CSW - 1988 |

Well, what a day!!
A great event, with lots of challenging parts. An excellent entry with a variety of vehicles. I saw a photographer out and about, but haven't had any back so the only shot is the lunch break ![]() ![]() Click image to enlarge Rebuilt motor is feeling good with decent torque, so going well. 90 V8 CSW - 1988 |
