mechanic needed

clocks2003 · Oct 1st, 2023, 12:10

Hi,
Is anyone prepared to come to my address (near Bourton-on-the Water in the Cotswolds) to do some work on my 940? Or does anyone know of someone who would do so?
The guy I used to use has had to retire due to problems with his knees....
If not, I may rather reluctantly have to sell my 'project' car.
Thanks
Andrew

What needs doing to it?

the head needs refitting (having already been skimmed & reassembled) and the gearbox need putting back on.

It's not that difficult. Any competent mechanic should be able to do it.
I am not a mechanic and I managed to do a similar job a few years ago.
You only need one special tool, the crankshaft locking tool (part no. 9995284), used to loosen/tighten the crank pulley bolt.
The attached pdfs described the process of fitting the head and timing belt.

thanks for that but as I say, I'm looking for someone to do it for me!
