Re: Fitting my new engine going well.
Lots of good stuff there Kev.
Why did you say the oil pressure was low, seems OK to me, depending on oil temp ?

Re: Fitting my new engine going well.
Thanks CJ
I'll just turn them in for now and see.
The oil pressure was always ok pal.
It's just numptydick here let the oil line to the gauge empty out.
So here's why the other engine was pulled
Bit of a mess

Syncros have a metal thermostat housing IIRC.

I remember the scare when Kev's 'adapted' wiring came off that one on a particularly hot day on the Autoroute near Strasbourg 9 years ago

It came with a good zorst so with funds limited I used it in true Yorkshire stylee.

I can still remember the heat emitting from the engine bay after 3 or 4 hours driving in that heat and whipping the lid off !

Any engine has a right to complain in that heat!

Re: Fitting my new engine going well.
I'll get you back on track as I wasn't around when you did your wiring, sounds like it was fun though
I'm glad the oil pressure's OK after all.
Did you happen to measure the endfloat before taking the flywheel off ?

Re: Fitting my new engine going well.
Looks like it's coming from the seal
I had a flywheel that was not grooved but leaked because it wan not shiny, the surface was bad.
need to pull seal out to see what shims are in there, the later case has a different set up and if you don't use the right larger diameter 0.4mm shim with 'retainer' = oil thrower it will get alot more oil around the seal and so more will tend to leak more.
Could also just be a shagged seal
yes metal housing = syncro engine.

Re: Fitting my new engine going well.
So how do you measure end float accurately?
