I forgot to add that the timing when i first tried to start it was at 12 degrees initial, i then changed it to match the cam profile to 22 degrees initial timing, fired right up. Still need to run it up for 20 minutes then fine tune it a bit more but i need an exhaust for that, otherwise ill have a lot of complaints from neighbours.
Hi mate for what it’s worth send the evap off to get tested for leaks xf were very common for leaking last thing you want is to put it all back together and then find it has a leak 👍👍
I am planning to use the Painless wiring harness on my XR build as well. What did you use for all the connectors to headlights etc, I assume you cut all the original connectors off and used something like Deutsch connectors? Or are you trying to keep all the original plugs? Sorry if I missed if you mentioned it already. Cheers
The headlight connectors come with the kit, so once you’ve routed the harness and got the length all sorted you can cut the wires and put on the headlight connectors supplied. As for everything else, I’m going Deutsche. They provide a lot of ring terminals for your engine bay sensors and power wires so you’re really only left with plugging the interior wires, and a few other bits like plugs to indicators and marker lights
Good to see that you are still progressing on the beast, cheers 4 sharing sir.
Thanks for the video, was wondering when the next was. great work, glad the aircond worked out.
Glad you’re back mate! Ute has come so far 💪

That’s a very good idea, I’m gonna do that, well worth it.
Like your Ute bruz . Did you have the headers on for start up ? Dash dose look mint 😎
Yeah had the old headers on for start up, will be getting a set of equal length headers before the actual exhaust goes on!
