Projekt Alpinweiss V - Rebuilding the new engine...

[andy10v]

Good progress, but needs more pictures

[Error404]

more pics! Where is this new engine you speak of?

[Rusty]

New block went in 2 weeks ago and now has the head, water pump, cambelt & pulley, exhaust & a few other things on it. Taking my time, cleaning & refurbishing and replacing bolts with stainless as I go. Starting to look like an engine and is all timed up and torqued down now.

The vacuum conversion on the brakes was a pig with the ABY fuel lines but I've sorted that with brute force and so just have to get a vacuum connection to the servo and adjust the rod in the car.

Pictures are on my camera so will update when I'm on an actual computer.

Fingers crossed for being close come Sunday...

Looking great Andy, you must be dying to get running!

What's the 3rd photo of mate? I can't quite work it out looks like a hinge,

Would be good if you could post some more sump details. I would like to do something like that in my urq.

Ahh, I should have got that, well spotted indeed.

I'd also be interested to see a pic of the inside of the sump so I can get a better idea of what's been done altogether.

The sump was modified for me by Aelred Smith, so not sure where he took it. I'll drop him line.

Got the inlet, PAS pump and a few other bits on as well as more cleaning and painting & figuring out the vacuum servo connection before coming down with the lurgy yesterday. Not felt this rough for a while...

That view is from the side of the sump with the wing removed. Its a good mod and made a big difference on my car.

Yep is it something that aelred still does. Cost would be nice.
