    My Engine Rebuild

    I've finally got round to rebuilding my engine, here are some pics with comments of various stages.

    This is still work in progress, so i'll keep adding to this as I progress, enjoy...



    Parked up in the garage, probably the last time it'll be in one piece





    714 megane block, front of, cheers winston... I will get this cleaned up before it goes in





    rear of the new block, note that the 714 block doesn't have the chunky vertical strengthening viens that the willy block has, but it does have more viens between the bolt holes. Also the oil pump is driven off the crank on this, so the oil pump pulley is just now an idler pulley.





    Engine bay stripped mostly...





    now the looms off the engine is ready to be lifted...





    engine crane in place... I had a very nasty accident with this crane later on involving my fingers being crushed !





    arj posing





    clear of the engine bay now







    the new engine installed... lol




    one very dirty gearbox off





    on the bench





    head off





    got a bit carried away with the wire wheel on one of the pulleys





    and another





    clean up the engine bay a bit...







    grinding some of the rust away









    I've just spent this evening grinding all the rust in the engine bay away. Kurust has been applied now aswell. Went to halfrauds and got a can of 449, this will be applied tomorrow night if I get time.

    I've also been cleaning up engine parts, but no pics yet sorry. Plan to get the engine back in at the weekend, will post more pics as I progress!

    Its been off the road 5 months, so can't wait to get her back!

    cheers guys, yeah the garage is fantastic, plenty of room at the front with a nice big workbench, makes all the difference. only problem at the moment is the floor needs redoing as at the moment its uneven, and shit loads of dust gets everywhere.
