My Engine Rebuild

[summeh]

didnt do much tonight as i was pretty knackered when I got in from work.

I did manage to spray up the engine bay where i'd taken it back to bare metal and done the kurust treatment yesturday.

Must say im quite pleased with the outcome, the colour match isn't great but thats to be expected from a spray can, but better than rusty patches. I almost wanted to spray the entire engine bay, hehe.







This is behind the bumper, where water seems to sit, can be seen in other pictures. Anyway this is just the paint coat, because its hidden and normally sits in water im going to underseal this tomorrow.

I intend to get a plate welded in here in the future.





These are the bonnet brackets sprayed up...





Some pulleys... They look awesome I think, hehe, I got carried away at this point :D






This is the old water pump, in pretty bad condition after 80k!





Some new stuff...



hg
head bolts
timing belt
pulley set
additional idler pulley for the 714 block
water pipe inset
alt belt
oil filter
fuel filter
water pump


can't wait to get it all fiited :D

progress has been slow with this as i've been busy with work and the house etc...

started to build up the new engine last night, only to be put back by 2 water pump bolts that decided to sheer! torque wrench was only set to 20nm aswell so spent a while drilling those out.

will get some pics up tonight, new engine is looking good. should have it ready to drop in by end of tonight.

Northy,

You must come up with a new set of speedlines on our avatars. For people who have done this level of surgery to a clio mk1 and successfully put it back together.

Sort of like a hero badge of honour. There must be at least 10 over guys who deserve the honour.

Come on. Do it, man!

sorry for being dim and maybe a little blonde, but what do the current little speedlines mean?

[Justin..]

1 speedline = paid member

2 speedlines = area rep

3 speedlines = a moderator

4 speedlines = ??? i dont know

5 speedlines = site owner/creator/Admin


IIRC :D
