Frosty's Ph1 Black D Turbo now with VNT

[Frosty]

Been a few weeks since i updated this. Not done a massive amount more but i will update with what i have done.

I got another power steering bracket off craigus's engine so it will save me swapping so many bits over. Had a slight issue with the allen key bolts not wanting to come undone. I cracked the heat out they then soon come undone



Fort i may as well give it a bit of a clean up and some paint



I finally got the rods and pistons back in to the block the other day as well



Then pop the oil squirters back in and the oil pump on



I decided to go with a steel sump in the end rather than an alloy 1. So i gave it a paint and then popped it on with new gasket and sealant



I've got the head pretty much ready to be bolted back on to the block now after grinding the valves in and checking the valve clearances.



And thats about as far as the engine is at the moment. I hope to maybe get the head bolted down this week.

I decided while the car is off the road i would whip the axle apart again and fit all new seals as i knew the axle was pretty good. Got all the seals from peugeot and we get pretty good price from peugeot at work i think which is ideal, though i did have to get some bits in more than a pair but always good to have spares i guess.

Axle came apart like a dream but that was expected as i had it a part not that long ago



Good bearings





Slight bit of wear on the pins but not to bad





Off came the main tube seals. They looked fairly worn out





And on with the new



And all back together. I used new anti roll bar seals as well and new offset washer etc



And thats about it for now. Will update a bit more later on in the week
