Plus one on that. Or just rock auto a one size fits most rings and bearings set and send it. If you don't measure it then you won't know it's bad so won't have to fix it. Will get it going enough to drive it and get a bit of fizz /motivation going

Boo, probably too much pissing around to modify it to suit. Might have some luck with a 'tucked'or ef tucked k swap or similar radiator off ebay?

Mk1? golf had fairly small radiator. Put one in my old crx and it cooled 1800cc of Honda's finest vtecs. Quick google suggests core is 525x322(plus end tanks)

Another pick a part mission Remembered the chain guide) idler is held in by two M6 pins Made up the pickapart pin removal tool 9000 Got the head. Ruc were about 350 thousand km and I found about 6 grand of receipts in the van so someone cared about it. Bores looked mint and still could see the cross-hatch but getting the block out is Def too hard basket. No Drilled passages for the oil feed or drain so not worth the effort Made a start on the oil filter gubbins but the exhaust was in the way and I was too hot and bothered to go get the sabre saw to fuck it off out of the way so it can stay there

Not something silly like one winding being reconnected backwards/reverse Polarity somehow?

Another plus 1 for no bumper here

Waaa that's a pain in the dick. You are welcome to borrow my insulation tester or I could swing by at some stage and give your motor a fondle

What size/how many killer wasps is your lathe motor? I assume your shed has three phase? Might know a guy who knows a guy who might have a spare vsd and who could programme it

Yeah could be keen

Mercedes /musso spec intake and oil filter mount Mercedes /ssangyong spec intake and fuel filter in the same spot. Can sort of see the lines for the "remote" filter there after a bit more digging looks like the filter is mounted close to the turbo /downpipe would be on the turbo engines seems like a LOT of time and effort to go in order to use these injector hard lines so I'm tempted not to bother with the van intake as it has potiential to snowball and cause more issues than its worth found this russin? video comparing the van 662 to the musso 662

I had three spare injection hardlines for musso spec intakes. I suspected the van stuff was different and was right. Apparently they like to crack if not correctly supported with their various brackets. Could go back and grab the van intake, cut and shut it to suit and have a forward facing plenum. Would also have to get the remote oil filter mount out of the van as the fuel filter is mounted on the back of the manifold where the oil filter housing lives Or find a cheap hq bonnet and have a sick scoop to cover the intake manifold Your 2c welcome here. Discuss here

In between dealing with bumwees I had a tinker with the engines. I thought I was missing the gear for injection pump but for once I was actually organised and put stuff in a box Van spec throttle linkage looks heaps tidier and nicer than the musso set up. Only thing I'll need to be aware of is firewall clearance VS the Mercedes /musso spec mounted to the intake

It'll probably work in reverse to what you need if your luck is anything like mine. It looks like it ticks a few of your requirement boxes for your shifter schenanagins and for a factory set up the mounting is pretty good

Bosch pump is off the musso Van pump Pes is the pump style as far as I know. 5 for 5 cylinder. M55 is 5.5mm elements and the rest of the part number I'm not sure about. I thought the non turbo pump may have smaller elements but it appears not which is good Boost alda on the Bosch pump And non boosty one on the Na pump. I'm wondering if ssangyong were cheap and used a similar alda for both versions and just didn't have the vacuum line connected for the non turbo. Lots of Information on the Mercedes stuff (only difference in turbo VS non turbo pumps is the alda) but not a lot for ssangyong unsurprisingly. Atleast it is a manual transmission pump so the governor springs etc will hopefully be adjusted/set and engine with respond a bit nicer compared to the auto. Will also get a extra 1000 rpm compared to the musso pump The fuel filter bracket is mounted on the back of the manifold on the van VS front on musso so I grabbed all the hoses and filter mounting bracket to give me another mounting option The van injector hard lines are probably different to the musso ones but they are difficult to source so nabbed them just in case

I was pleasantly surprised with working on the van at pick a part. Everything came off easy enough and nothing was too awkward to access Was thinking about the intake manifold but it's way too tall The cam in my spare engine has surface rust so was junk. Pulled the manifolds and cover off the van engine and liberated the cam. Apparently the non turbo cams are better power wise but it's all internet Barry yarns so who knows Vac pump off the front of the engine and remembered that the pump bolt is reverse thread just in time The van throttle bracket is different and looks like may be easier to adapt compared to the musso stuff so grabbed that too
