Hi all,
about 18 months ago I bought a non going 1978 fuel injected Daimler V12 barn find. I started work on it and discovered various engine problems, none particular serious but needing repair. A valve shim was misplaced and a valve was riding. The advance mechanism was seized. The vacuum advance canister was perforated and 5 out of the 12 injectors were totally gummed up.
Unfortunatley I needed some restoration work of my own and had major orthopaedic surgery so all work stopped and the partially disassembled Daimler was pushed to the back of the shed.
Last week I dragged it out. My wife and I gave it a wash and a polish. It looks stunning. Now if only I can get it back together. I started reassemble and it is getting closer. I have removed both the exhaust gas recirculation and the air injection. After a year and a half my memory of the remaining plumbing and wiring is rather hazy.
I was wondering if there was a good supply of detailed photos of the engine bay of fuel injected Series II V12s to assist me in completing the reassembly.
regards
Al
