ste this will be awesome

I'm getting all excited..

hopefully will have pics of the new engine back together today.

Ste have you stripped the whole engine down or just put the cams in?

iirc all of it

27 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes it has all bee in in bits.

Every gasket, seal and o ring has been replaced and then put back together.

Been busy with neil today, re assembling the engine.

started like this



then the sump was replaced after cleaning and putting the oil pump and feed back together.





Then we had a look at the new cams

A comparison between new and old



test fitting

with the cams fitted and pulleys. replacing the water pump and all tensioners



cam covers and oil cap replaced



transfeered the manifold bolts and refitted the alternator bracket

looks like a great build...

I've always liked the look of blue engine blocks.

it just screams out, "this engine has had some time spent on it"

that and the blue samco hoses

paint the sump red and it will be french colours

looks spot on tho mate loving the blue !

im impressed mate i really am its ace. are you gonna be ready for nationals with it then ?

Erm

Garage got flooded today though, so all my floor is wet. Gotta wait for it to dry out now

my heater is going 10 t'dozen atm to help the drying.

On the plus side, got the alternator & it's assembly cleaned/painted & fitted.

Just need to pick up the engine hoist and the old engine should be out hopefulyl by wednesday.
