Hey, im gettin my inlet manifold polished inside and the injectors ultrasonic cleaned, took the chance to take off the cam cover, here is what i found.

needless to say im delighted everything seems spotless:biggthump . the engine must of been rebuilt in japland before it came to these shores, 120000 miles on it. there loads of yellow paint and marks on stufff includin the cam chain.

[Chawkie]

When you say 120,000 miles do you mean KMs or is it 180,000KMs?
