Ford Carb Weber 2V TLD, from 2L DOHC, its off my spare engine, no idea if it works or not, needs a good clean

Distributor bits

I am sure I speak for Paul (Zeroknowledge) as well as myself that we really enjoyed meeting you all at Jedbough and driving down through Northumberland to Hexham. Pleased you all made it home safely, and look forward to catching up with you at Stonliegh

certainly did enjoy the runout on wed

good to meet you all & put faces to names,

on day 5 what time do you think you will be crossing the border on A68 & where is your 1st fuel stop ?

working lates next week so an early runout could be fun

cheers for info

I know an engine should be turned over every month or so but what about a gearbox?

Iam trying to tidy the garage & shed to have a bit more space to work in so Iam moving all spares to a small loft area above the garage.

this is what I have - all from 2.0 DOHC, should they be covered in oil / WD40 / wrapped in oily paper / left dry ???

Engine (on a stand) will be stored in corner of garage

Alloy cylinder head with cams / valves etc attached (oiled when rebuilt)

water pump (new)

alternator (new)

brake calipers (used)

complete rear brake drums (used)

drive shafts (new)

MT75 gearbox (used)

Diff (used)

front hubs (used)

The wee loft is well ventilated

Cheers Paul

what bore is the master cylinder, new or used

I fitted a bracket (circled in photo) between carbs & cam cover- it makes it solid with no movement even with hot engine

working lates again so will be missing this week.

my car will be back on road 1st april so hopefully get some decent weather for runouts

My DOHC sump did not have the extra capacity extension added.

I never had an oil problem.

The suggestion of a gate hinge baffle across the point where the extension fits makes sense to me.

How much did you cut from the pickup? mine was only about 1/4 inch above and parallel to the flat bottom.

 

Graham

.

actually Graham I added an 8mm spacer to the pickup where it bolts to the block as the gap was 16mm !!!!

Looking at your sump a simple one way flap would allow oil in but prevent it moving away from pick up area, you could put small slots in to allow a small amount of oil movement

finally got round to fitting a sump baffle

I chose a simple hinged flap (made from gate hinge) as Snapperpaul suggested -seemed to work ok with water, wont be tested on road till april

also adjusted the bottom of oil pickup to sump base gap to 8mm

hopefully this will do the trick

plenty of MT75 info here

cheers Paul

mine passed iva on bike carbs/megajolt without a cat.

My engine is from early 1992 with a letter from ford as proof, so didnt need a cat.

What year is your engine from?

Is it using all original EFI bits?

Glad you got it sorted. Did you manage to do the tensioner without much trouble?

 

Les

I tried the old tensioner 1st but pushed it too far in & it wouldnt release, 2nd attempt on new one worked no probs

I didnt have any feelers to use so cut up a bean tin

once you get the knack its quite easy to do

cheers Paul
