Ahmotorsport Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 That engine bay doesn't look like the standard one I've driven and worked on Its a saying we have. It is a standard engine though, just with lots of shiny bits bolted on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmotorsport Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 A little update. Alfa - Finished it off today, we were just waiting on some cork to arrive to fix the fuel sender, all working, going to give it another little spruce up tomorrow before sending it on it's way. Porsche - Dropped the tank to get to the pump, as we couldn't hear it when running/ignition on, got it working (dodgy connection) we then checked the fuel pressure and it was low, it's one of the two fuel pressure regulators. Stuck with the Audi at the moment, until the we can get a new core for the turbo and rebuilt it, as that stops us putting the rest of it on. http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000105.jpg Checking fuel pressure. Clamped the fuel pipe to get the pressure up, adjusted it to the right pressure and this is it running sounding much healthier. http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000107.jpg Quattro manifold built up http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000106.jpg Cleaned, painted and polished throttle body (Just being a tart) http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000108.jpg And fitted http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000111-2.jpg Polished timing cover. http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000110-1.jpg Sunbeam Talbot 90.

Ahmotorsport Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 Right. Alfa has had a spruce up and has gone, at last! Porsche man bought down a new fuel pump, that had been sitting a while, i do not know why either, we need a regulator! Seized up anyway. Saph Cos turned up. Wants a service and check over for the MOT. Lathe turned up. Win! http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000112-1.jpg One polished and waxed Alfa http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000116.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000117.jpg Then i got the Autosol out. http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000113-1.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000114-1.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000115.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000119.jpg Saph http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000120.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000122.jpg Porsche http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000121.jpg Ickle lathe!

Ahmotorsport Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 Not much of an update. Been waiting for parts (still are!) for the Cossie and Porsche. After sorting out the fuel gremlins it also had spark gremlins after some quick testing, it was running on four cylinders, yes, four. It just so happened that those four were connected to the same distributor (two distributors connected via a rubber belt on a 928, cr4p idea) so, after getting messed about with Euro car parts, we're still Rotor arm less. Cossie - After four sets of pads turned up, none of which were correct, we sent them back with an old pad, for a pattern, what's funny is, there is only ONE type of front pad on a 4x4 Cossie. So new pads all round, all calipers are free and work well. All oils changed, awaiting on two exhaust clamps from eBay, for some reason motor factors don't seem to stock clamps over the size of 54mm, we need 80mm. Still awaiting for the Electrician (after God knows how many months) to finish off putting plug sockets in and changing lighting position and bulbs, as we can't see unless the roller door is open, which in this weather, we don't really want. It would appear, no-one we know likes to do work! xD http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000126-1.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000135-1.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000125-1.jpg Do thank my phone for the sideways snail.

Ahmotorsport Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 Rotor arm for the 928 turned up, fitted it and it's perfect now. Still waiting for zorst clamps on the Cossie. A Wangye ATV turned up. Our mate who gave us the lathe set it up today so i got busy having a go. http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000136-1.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000137-1.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000138-1.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000139-1.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000141.jpg The beginnings of a valve guide punch, for the Chevy. Machine it so it fits in the guide nicely. http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/WP_000142.jpg Machine the rest to the outside of the guide size and its dooone.
