the dizzy has done less than 500km is that new enough?? the dizzy still has paint on the gear


yea i guess so..
as long as there is no marks on the gear i would re- use it..

i just mentioned it because i had a new aftermarket dizzy at the time mine was taken off the road..
and the dizzy gear now has harsh wear marks on the gear...

Do you think this may be the "trend" so to speak, it seems both of you have used after market dizzys vs a standard Ford one (out of another car for example).???

City Ford has probably got the best prices for genuine spares. I have bought lots of bits from them.

QUESTION:

does any1 know if you can remove and replace a timing case without dropping sump

reason for question is that currently i have a motor that doesnt leak a drop and i know the moment i drop the sump she'll be a leaker,

i was thinking like replace without front main and knock the main seal on after the case is installed
