bigfoot Posted October 27, 2017 Author Share Posted October 27, 2017 Its been a busy few months Did some driving Bought a 2nd hand engine with the intention of giving it a rebuild and found this: the previous owner said the engine had been sitting outside under a tarp for 6 months. The rust cleaned up beautifully with a hone and there was no other signs of bhg Short block assembled and painted red to make it go faster Engine ready to go. With shiney rocker cover and manifold courtesy of @Mr Vapour making the rest of my engine look shit 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfoot Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 All done but, not without issues. Noticed smoke from under the bonnet, pulled over and saw this: Oil pouring from the rocker cover gasket. Got it home and pulled the cover to find this When I put the cover on, the gasket moved and pinched. Car goes way better than it did with the old motor and doesn't smoke. Not bad for my first full engine rebuild 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
