f*cking hell mate, that could of been nasty. I'm always really worried about dropping my grinder.

[bashbarnard]

Dude your lucky. My grinder slipped on me last week and exploded the cutting disc inchs from my face. I got the tinyest of scratch's on my arm. Yet when i accidentally tapped a disc with my hand. Blood everywhere

[cully]

the rustiness has gone looks a lot better!
I am not gona do the whole bay just the chassis legs and the corner sections where water pools

ironicly i need a part that i have sold off the scrapper which is not in stock at Peugeot and is on back order
my local peugeot was good enough to do a dealer search and found one in the country at Scarborough
so a phone call later i bought it and they are sending it by post
item i wanted was the gear linkage boomerang with the ball mine the ball was cracked and loose

[Dum-Dum]

She's looking good mate.

[Piggy]

Looking sweet

[lolsteve]

Very nice, must be a good feeling to know it's good to last.

[cully]

some parcels have turned up today
Genuine exhaust fitting kit Part No 1798-75
genuine Gear link control return Part No 2449-71

needed the control link as the ball on mine fell off with a tug



I think i have found why the linkages rattle too....
the brass bushes in the control link were worn and there was slack in the pivit point with the new one all the slack has gone

question for you....Do I grease the ball in the tube???
the tube currently looks dry of grease

[Toms306]

I've always greased old ones, don't think they were greased new though, up to you I guess!

[rocker8742]

Didn't grease mine when I changed it on the 6 and never had an issue with it

[cully]

parts for my oil pressure early warning have turned up

oil pressure gauge an adjustable pressure switch with a remote adaptor so I can utilise the second block oil way tapping

[cully]

clutch cables are easy to change with the engine out

[cully]

with the new engine i will be fitting an oil pressure gauge and an early warning light set for around 20psi not the std 5 psi which warns when its too late

so ive bought a pressure gauge and a seperate pressure switch which i will be building into a two pod gauge holder
oil light will have a volt meter in the same pod custom pod

first mock up



anyway ive just seen the post for expo so thought it a good goal for the new engine

so this has happened in the last hour!








its a little early to celebrate but its on its mounts

[cully]

Home made gortex PTFE butterfly gasket



slurp anyone home!



slowly getting there unfortunately thunder lightning and rain stopped play

[ozonehostile]

Clean engine and bay transforms a car. Looking great so far

[Piggy]

Good work pal!

[cully]

well today was the big day......

I got on far enough to put fluids in and so i was itching to start it

first off i removed the fuel relay and turned over the engine till i had oil pressure
just to give the engine a fighting chance even though it was built up with assembly lube

anyway fitted the fuel relay primed the system a couple of times checked for feul leaks
then turned it over....
the thing only went and started first turn

and i even forgot to plug in the cam sensor

ignor the rattly old diesel i jump started her from

[bashbarnard]

Yaah. Well done mate.

[Jonny81191]

Ooh shiny

[cully]

One step forward Two steps back!

started the car again today to get some more smiles
only to find an oil leak from somewhere behind the crank pulley



so knowing this is bad i tore it down before it had chance to contaminate any of the belts

so off with the covers nothing ovious now the pulley nothing so cambelt and lower pulley had to come off
i really didnt want to do this but it had to be done so now ive removed cambelt and lower cam pulley

BASTARD! i damaged the lower seal fitting it

---

I will give a brief how too remove Fuggered seal

locate buggered seal



drill small pilot hole in seal outer case



screw in wood screw or self tapper to jack the seal out



remove seal with screw attached



clean surfaces and fit new seal carefully not trying to wreck it this time

---

and thanks go's to me for making an awesome timing pin set, it worked a treat in the car too as wall as when I built the engine on a stand

[cully]

Yeh! it moves under its own steam....



temporary fitted oil pressure gauge till my pod turns up



fitting the lights and bumper assembly



clean bay

---

oil leak fixed cambelt reinstalled no tapping here
engine sounds like it wants to rev quick with the lightened fly n pulley fitted

[bashbarnard]

Nice. For some reason this motor is only one of the few petrol ones i follow on here. No idea why. Good to see the motors properly driving though.

[cully]

Last few bits were put on earlier ive got fed up with the plastic snap rivets on the front grill so ive replaced them with Rivnuts so now I can unbolt it easier



finished off with a wash and quick polish ready for tomorrow Being Taxed and out on the road.
first trip will be to Peugeot to get some Hockystick clips

---

I have not connected the oil cooler although it is fitted,
reason being it is empty and clean of oil,
I don't want to be running my running in oil through the cooler as I wont be able to drain it fully,
once ive done 3-400 miles running in, i will be putting better quality oil in it with the cooler

[Piggy]

Is it just the video or is there a whine!?

Good effort though pal, looks ace

[cully]

Is it just the video or is there a whine!?

Good effort though pal, looks ace

all new belts maybe?

[welshpug]

oof, just listened, belt too tight!

[cully]

ok if the cambelt is too tight how to gauge tightness is correct without a gauge?

[Niall]

ok if the cambelt is too tight how to gauge tightness is correct without a gauge?

Experience :p
On the longest run, the belt should twist no more than 90 degrees

[cully]

its at 45 degrees now ?

[Jonny81191]

its at 45 degrees now ?

Yeah, that's way too tight. Slacken it off until you can twist it to 90 degrees.

[Piggy]

its at 45 degrees now ?

Ah yeah thats the whine!

As Niall said, twist 90 degrees at the middle point of the longest length between pulleys. 

Then do a couple rotations back to timing marks and check again
