nice work m8 ...wish i could do that , not sure on the green though :)
|
im just learning as im goen on lol, learning loads to, thought id be difrent from the red inlet and blends in with the car, i dont even like green haha
|
Who did the work on the head ports?
What are you going for out of interest regarding the bearings? Are the crank journals within limits or is it a 'new' job? Respect to giving it a go at the side of the road though. I thought I was 'hardcore' with doing all my work on the estate car park:lol1: |
wel i got ful botom end and main crank bearings from flat4online and their acl bearings,
i did the work on the ports myself, hope they look ok, havent don it on a scooby engine befor, only on a forest raly mk 2 golf, haha unfortunantly iv always had to do any work on the main road ish wherever iv lived, not to bad supose, aslong ase you dont mind getin wet at times, haha |
I'm no expert on head porting at all, just interested:)
It would be good to see what difference it makes. Keep the pics coming as you go along if you can, they make better reference than any description. I've built up a few Pug engines in my time, and now how usefull these sorts of threads are. Might even show that you don't need to spend a fortune on getting an engine rebuilt if you're prepared to have a go yourself. |
ifound it alot eysier than i thougt, think the hardest thing was lifting the engine out of the car without a crane!ha,
got the exhaust manifold to port once i get mor tool bits, ill get some mor pics as im goen, hopefuly itl be back in within the next month,finance allowing, |
right, nex issue, instaling the pistons,
just to check iv got this right: -position required rod with small end at piston pin hole -place piston ring compresor on piston -with ring gaps at like 10 past 10 (clock) -close compresor and place in cylinder bore mouth -tap the piston down into cylinder -keep going till every thing lines up -piston pin in -circlip in, job done, is this correct? thaaank u |
Dont forget to put the other circlips in the pistons before you fit them in the bore's.
|
Don't forget the gudgeon pin offset..........if you have one

any tips for lining up the rods and pistons, iv tryd to instal one of the pins and it goes in to one side of the piston then stops and wont budge how much force should it need to get them in?
|
The gudgeon pins should be a hand push fit once you have lined the piston and rod up.
Did you check the pins slide in the pistons and through the small end of the rods by hand prior to fitting?? You quite often get a burr in the piston when stripping the engine down. Mick |
im going to have to re open the block enyway, think one of the rods are on the wrong way round!compleat pis take!

wel after i found iv somehow cocked up the piston instaling because i think couple of the con rods were the wrong way round,
hears the reason you dont hamer in the piston pins! http://i514.photobucket.com/albums/t...3082008023.jpg because iv had to re split the block iv decided to paint the block. http://i514.photobucket.com/albums/t...3082008020.jpg http://i514.photobucket.com/albums/t...0820080211.jpg http://i514.photobucket.com/albums/t...3082008022.jpg cam covers going green http://i514.photobucket.com/albums/t...3082008027.jpg how it will begin to look http://i514.photobucket.com/albums/t...3082008025.jpg http://i514.photobucket.com/albums/t...3082008026.jpg |
Ows, for the craic why not call out the AA or RAC complaining that you can't get your car to run...... Make sure you're ready with your digital camera or cameraphone, ready to immotalise the mechanic's look on his head, as he lifts the bonnet :lol1:...
