Right, been a day of learning....
I found the 10mm socket, so it was not that, would have been too easy.
So took it apart and lifted the cam cover. Nothing obviously wrong, no spanners or anything left behind.
Removed the injectors again, and #1 injector was covered in oil, as was number 1 cylinder. Clearly the engine was hydro locked, so no amount of cranking would have solved this. Cranked it over with the injectors removed and the fuel pump disconnected, which cleared the oil out
That's from #1
So, cleaned it all up and started reassembly, when this happened
At this point I was really glum. Just could not understand why the bolt had sheared, I was using a torque wrench set to 25nm....
After some head scratching, I sharpend up a old screwdriver and used that to drive a slot into the piece in the head, and managed to turn it out.... phew
So, used one of the old bolts, and on examining the torque wrench I noticed it was set to 35nm, damn failing eyesight.
After this it was plain sailing all back together and running well. Took it for a drive and after a bit seems to have stopped smoking. Sounds a bit less tappity/ rattley than before.
So thinking about it and why it was hydro locked, I can only conclude that as the car is on a slope facing downhill whilst I cleaned all the injectors which took about a hour, oil must have slowly drained into #1...
Will drain the oil and do the pickup next week...
