New Project

[Abott10]

This is the BMW type Coolant Connection which became loose ( when old they can be difficult to locate securely ) and their internal seals expand making a perfect fit hard to obtain. I removed the U-Shaped Clip for safe keeping to use later. The original root cause alerting me to the possibility of overheating engine damage.



Then deployed my Liner Drift GIZMO. Delighted to report it soon had the last Liner No 4 out.





Block now minus Cylinder Liners :~





Removed assemblies carefully stored prior to thorough clean up before refitting with the Shims. Think I will use the merest smear of Blue Sealant simply to hold the Shims in place... unless those with more experience of these things believe that is NOT a wise thing to do for whatever reason I'm not aware of. Welcome any feedback here.



Couple of years ago got a batch of various MG and Rover Metal parts refurbished and finished in Gloss Black Powder Coating. All have or will come in handy and this Tie bar from the Sump Mount will do just that on reassembly. Needed to run a Tap through the corroded threads and jobs a good un now.

Pleased with today's progress. Looking forward to cleaning up and checking all the components prior to the rebuild.



Off to run a nice hot bath now. Well earned deep joy for the old bones and joints.
