Rebuild Project Pictures
Im not gonna hijack Multiplex´s thread again, so here are some pics from the rebuild to come.
I might start taking the motor apart next week.
As the rebuild goes on, all screws are getting replaced by proper sizes like 13 mm. instead of 12mm and so on. Ofcourse all SS bolts and nuts. O-rings will be replaced and gaskets will be made from gasketpaper.
Wirewheeled waterpump housing and filler neck.

Here is the Secondary fuel rail and restored Distributor.
The distributor has been taken totally apart and cleaned throughout.
I dont want to do that over again
It was a bitch

You are doing a good job there!
However, replacing the bolts and nuts with what you call "proper sized" ones isn't really something I'd do. I really like the fact that most work on the cars can be done with minimal amount of wrenches, so swapping bolt sizes isn't something I like, as it can get confusing.
Also, if I'd replace them, I'd go for SS allen head bolts. These are much stronger (ever seen a ripped head on those?) and look the part. But of course, special tools are needed. Not that allen keys are that special, but still...

Do you have the wire wheel mounted on something? Thats something I still have a problem with, mine is on an angle grinder and another on a drill, but its a bitch to work on parts that way.

Go to bed? Sure... I just got up when I wrote that! Had to start at 3.30am! What a lovely job I have...
And, ok, I accept you are using non-allens now I hear you don't have allens at work

oooh looking shiney
be carefull swapping out with stainless on anything that needs torquing down ... most ss fastners are made of poor grade stainless that has a much lower tensile strength that the orignals = sheared bolt.
Stainless steels can also gall (the threads weld together !) in certain materials

Thanks for the advise Mike, I will reconsider a few bolts.
Sure Oliver I will come around hopefully tommorow.
I got my injectors cleaned and tested today, they are perfect
And ofcourse had them cleaned with my new favorite tool, the wirewheel
Damn that is one bad picture, but I had to give it some brightness

Today I cleaned the alternator.
Guess what tool I used
Look at that nice dual belt pulley. Isnt that a work of art.:suckup:
It would be nice if I had the matching main and waterpump pulley.

Nice work!
And Kim, it seems we are on the same line once again. Yesterday I was just thinking "hey, when the engine goes out next month or so, to clean everything, I'd really need matching pulleys"
So Higgi: you already have two potential customers!
Oh, and Kim, no I'm not going to bed: I start at 5.00 today

Damn kim, you stole my idea there making the middle part the same as the pulley
DNS entry for my site seems to be screwed again (happens twice a month it seems) so no picture yet, I did this a while back, first thing I did with wire brush, have to remember to swap DNS entries soon

I smoothported the throttlebody/intake elbow and gave it a coat of plastic paint.
All the sharp edges are removed, using my Proxxon "dremel" tool with a rotating sandpaper thing.

Elbow and primary injector rail, waiting for me to get off my *** and start the actual rebuild
Notice that the engine fire hazard AKA fuel pulsation dampner has been eliminated and replaced with a homemade Banjo bolt.
And no it aint leaky, tested it with 7bars of water

I took my motor apart yesterday, eventhough I have never tried it before it only took me a few hours including cleaning.
The housings seems to be reusable, the int.iron and one endplate needs a resurfacing.
No cracked water seal grooves, but it looked lie a blown waterseal and it had two broken apexseals.
Here is a shot of the rotorhousing and intermidiate iron.
