I picked up a second hand sump on ebay as mine had significant corrosion, the sump has a baffle installed already that bizarrely appears to be OEM?

Anyway, it needed an oil return hose adapter fitting for the turbo:

Image

That'll do

Image

Well actually it didn't as I eventually decided to weld it into place rather than trust the thread and gasket. Unfortunately no pics of the job except for the shiny new TIG welder that I bought for this project.....

Nice to see some progress :)

Out of interest how much was it for them to install the sleeves?

They did sleeves install and honing, line honing of the crank journals, chemical clean and polishing of the crank for £1k.

Check out their website, their prices are good and they know their stuff.

I'm still working out what I think is the best way to vent the crankcase, it will probably involve a large catch can and several brake boost valves.

I rebuilt to top end of the engine with pretty much all new parts including:
  • New OEM valve guides (bitch to replace apparently),
    new Supertech stainless valves,
    crower springs and retainers and
    ATR LMA's.
The LMA's:

Image

In place:

Image

New valve stem oil seals:

Image

Valves and retainers:

Image

Image

Now onto the bottom end:

Bearings:

Image

I got the machine shop to measure everything that I needed to know the dimensions of to remove the guesswork out of fitting bearings, still I plastigauge-d everything to double check.

Image

Image

All was good so onto the fitting:

Image

Image

Piston rings:

Image

I made mu own setup to set the correct gap on the rings, it worked really well:

Image

Then combining the rings, pistons and rods:

Image

And checking the gap on the rings:

Image

Image

And in you go...........

Image

Coming together......

Image

New oil pump, water pump and timing belt stuff including the balance shaft delete:

Image

Image

Then head meet bottom end with an OEM gasket:

Image

And on with the cams, followers and the rest:

Image

The rest of the cam timing gubbins in place:

Image

Random:

Image

Adjustable cam gears:

Image

Image

Random bottom:

Image

I decided not to do the rocker cover in a solid colour:

Image

Image

Image

I'e decided to fit an OEM weight flywheel:

Image

With a new clutch:

Image

More soon...............
