It is now official, only cos I am typing it here!!
I now hate Sharkie! I am have been struggling for the last 6 weeks since the timing chain damper shattered to get her back on the road.
She at least starts, but just dont let me try and drive her. She vibrates worse than a vibrator and I suspect I have a blown head gasket.
Think it is now time to do a complete strip and rebuild.

Personally, I would strip and replace what is required on the NIVA engine.

me to, any conversion gives you more headache then needed. Just send over some beers to Kessel, belgium and i will guide you trough it ;D (after the beers are consumed, and you've send me some more ;D ) come to think of it, i really should put the TD in my Niva, but there's always getting some other work in the way. Right now i must make 8 (eight!) roof racks for members of our club
