Project 2011 !!

[Rev 3 Kris]

Thought id post some pics of my 2 project that im in the middle of trying to get done.

car looked like this last time it was on the road



now like this

old rev 3 engine out ! was making 300@ wheels before i removed it as im wanting a little more ooomph !!

picked up a 2.2 stroker engine and gearbox from Vampire that was in the forsale section, started stripping engine just to check that everything is in the block that should be


box off to reveal exedy clutch but standard flywheel

2.2 engine up on stand


dropped sump to have a butchers inside

HKS 87mm pistons, eagle H rods and HKS 2.2 crank

[Rev 3 Kris]

about to take off crankshaft pulley so off to shop to buy crankshaft puller or is there an easier way of gettin it off ?

[ashley]

You can make a real simple tool to draw it off mate...

There are 4 holes in the crankshaft pulley, around the centre bolt. Two are threaded.

You'll need two long'ish bolts that will go into the threaded holes.

Then a thickish piece of steel plate about 10cm by 3cm wide, drill two holes in it- one at either end that will line up with the threaded holes on the pulley.

Put a socket, or equivalent (needs to be smaller than the centre hole of the crankshaft pulley) against the end of the crankshaft (obviously once the bolt is removed). Put your steel plate on top of the socket, then your two bolts (with washers) through the plate and into the crankshaft pulley.

Then slowly wind both bolts in together, this will push the plate against the socket, and so push against the end of the crankshaft, thus pulling the pulley off the end of the shaft.

Hope that makes sense- difficult to explain without a picture lol

yeah mate understand what your saying

having trouble getting nut loose on crankshaft pulley only got weak compressor and its not strong enough to budge it and engine is up on stand with clutch and flywheel off so cant lock fly wheel any ideas people ?

cheers

found this gasket in the bottom of the sump of new engine today


its the gasket from the oil pick up tube

also are these standard flywheel bolts ?

[Rev 3 Kris]

whats will all the gunk ?



shocking !!

[GTS GAV]

whats the deal with this?? the gunk looks like sludgy oil contaminated with metal filling?? whats it like to finger touch?

have you pulled it rite down now to check the crank and cams for sighns of scoring?

[SFLee]

how come its using stock cam gear?

[GTS GAV]

was this engine posted in the for sale section dude?

[greeny]

Look to be standard flywheel bolts.

If that gasket is missing from the oil pick up, theres a chance that it was sucking in air!

Id totally strip the engine and clean throughout and check oil clearances. Are those cams scored?

Hows the crank journals?

[Rev 3 Kris]

Yeah im stripping whole block to check everything over now that ive seen a few things

[greeny]

Have you contacted the seller to see what they say?

[GTS GAV]

was going to say the same thing michael, to be hounest why even bother stripping it down, id pin it back together and contact the seller

[Rev 3 Kris]

new pics shocking eh the second pic is metal swarf

[Rev 3 Kris]

yeah was from the forsale section got it from a lad called Vampire got told loads of rubbish about block

[Rev 3 Kris]

just wondering what this hole is in the block ?

[Rev 3 Kris]

[SFLee]

i think it is xeno , anyway look interesting

[Rev 3 Kris]

yeah the engine was originally xeno`s then sold then i bought it from another lad on here. The engine has had some money put into it but some things just seem bad like finding oil pickup gasket in the sump which is not the best place for it and loads of swarf in the head

[Rev 3 Kris]

Checked block over now and everything is fine except the head so taking off my head from my rev 3 engine and fitting to rev 2 2.2 stroker block

rev 3 engine up on stand
