Yep thats right with the serp setup - the water pump takes almost no torque to spin so it doesnt need a grooved pulley.

Yep I'll be there, and so will the car. Still unsure about whether the engine will be in in time though. Fingers crossed

From this

To this

Unfortunately the engine won't be in in time for VITS, which I'm bummed about. Although I'd rather make the ~700km round trip with an engine that is somewhat reliable and that won't be it's maiden voyage.

Still keen as a bean though

More to come...

And so I've jinxed myself. My 'reliable' engine has started to be a little bitch, and will get really REALLY hot (I suspect a faulty thermostat). On top of that, my electrical are all slowly starting to die... Started with my radiator fan (since replaced) and now my lights are dimming whenever I brake or accelerate, and my radio cuts in and out. It seems I've somehow drained the majority of the battery.

Will need to work quick smart to get her to VITS, if she gets there, it will be a limp in afraid. I'm hoping she doesn't die on the way to or from work tomorrow, because that would ruin my weekend significantly.

Wish me luck
