- I bought some of this stuff (Metal Rescue) the other day to see if it actually works.
- Below on the right are 2 injectors that have been chemically treated and the one on the left hasn't.
- The injectors are rust coated with something because I put water on one of them for 24 hrs or so and no sign of rust starting.

- I have decided to go back to do this job.
- Making this to fit exactly wont be a quick and easy job.
- I have the rubber blocks which I think will do the job.
- This may look straight forward but the internal and externals are concave just to make it that much more delightful. This is the one and only front engine mount.
- Then I can put the engine back together.
- I did some measurements of the frame the rubber mount sits in and the rubber comes up short.
- No wonder the engine was as rough and noisy and vibrating on the body.
- The only part of this rubber mount that was useful was the part at the very bottom taking all the weight.
- 28th Jan
- New engine mount in. The engine is once more supporting itself.
- Normally with the rubber mount you can turn it around to use the end that has more body to it but this one I did try that and it just collapsed.
- The rubber is very soft.
- I'd say that it has had it's day.

- I'm needing the room on my bench to tackle the fuel tank so I'm putting finished bits back on.
- This is the heaviest thing I have taken off, the main air tank for brakes, working the gearbox etc.
