Can anyone help transport old ovlov from Hull to Lincs please?

[hennabm]

Hi all

 

A plea to the AS community. I have purchased a one owner 240 est from near Hull and I need to get it to Lincoln. It has been lying in the garage since 2007 so any thought of driving it with a cambelt is worrying me. Also with no tax or MOT it is tricky.

 

 

Anyone know of someone that maybe able to help me please.

 

Remuneration of some sort will be provided. of course.-

Interference engine?

Scruff?

Scruff had given up tat shifting last I'd heard, but may be worth a shout, just in case.

My 1979 one wasn't when it snapped the belt 27 miles after I bought it! Mine had been stood as well and the oil feed through the head blocks so it seizes on the cam.

If it's noninterference, pack an RAC card and stick to the nearside lane. Book an MOT close to home and you've just saved a Shipley fee.

If it's a 2.0 it's interference, 2.3 is non-interference.

It's a B230 engine and according to what I've read on tinternet it is an interference engine. Hence my initial caution.

The B230 is non-interference, the B200 is interference. Looks a late 240 which were generally B200, 230s were pretty uncommon that late in the game.

It's a 1989 and a sticker on the cam belt cover states it's a B23 at least. Maybe the 0 isn't an 0 but a o.......

It has that rare thing today, called a carburettor.

'89 would be B230E (Bosch K-jet) or B230K (carb) I'd expect, the B23 was phased out by around 1985 IIRC.
