Well a rather annoying twist in the tale. Installed the crank the other day after completing all pre assembly prep. Everything seemed ok bar a slight bit of clearancing needed on the girdle plate. Took everything off and found a whopper of a scratch on one of my main bearings. Annoyed doesn’t come close!
I know the block and crank were crystal clean so I can only assume that my old pot of assembly lube had become contaminated with a bit of grit or who knows what. What are the odds?!?
So, yet again, a thorough clean of block and crank before sealing away on clean bags while I await new bearings to arrive….. and a NEW bottle of assembly lube by @torcousa via @nimbusmotorsport

My car idles well at 900 rpm.
A little higher than stock but thats how I had it set and I like it :)
Now I have changed my heater matrix the idle jumps to 1100rpm when the climate control is on.
Not had it on for about a year as had no heater matrix or air con.
Now the only reason I can think of for the idle increase is to power the air con pump.
Well I no longer have an air con pump so I want my idle to stay at 900 with the heater on as that doesnt use loads of power like the air con.
Do I just pull off the yellow plug or will that cause bigger problems?
