cam/top plate on and cam pulleys on.

I had some trouble torquing up the cam bolts to 51 nm, since you need to hold the cam shaft with a ring spanner and the bolt with the torque wrench. I will need to get a mate in to help

Always nice with a parts delivery...

MED crank pulley and filter housing!

Quality is excellent! And just slightly more expensive than standard parts.

Looks great fitted!

Bild

Shame it is never going to work. the MED Damper must be both thicker and larger in diameter than the standard item, despite i being sold as an "s" damper.

the picture below shows the situation with the SC trigger wheel fitted. I would need to space out the sensor bracket about 1cm and shave 4mm off the sensor itself for it too work. Open to suggestion though…...

Bild


Generally a frustrating night in the garage I offered uo the oil filter housing, It is supplied with socket head bolts, but the clearance with the housing itself makes it impossible to get any sort of tool to tighten up the bolts.

Bild

oh and then there is the washers suppled… they foul the side of the hosing so can't be used (not a big deal, but why even send them).

Bild

One positive side the new wiring loom from SC arrived. Plugs straight into the relay packs, so looks easy to use. But there are a couple of ring and spade connectors, which i need some explaining on where they connect. No instructions provided. I assume they are for the starter X3, oil pressure and for the alternator X3.

Oh then there is this on the loom. This is for the air temp sensor but surely it shouldn't look like this?

Time for a beer or two or three or four….

Quality parts eh?
Well.. you could try and find smaller washers.. or fit them to the bolt and then tighten them with a suitable nut and then have them set up in a lathe to "wear" them down.. or file or grind them flat on one side, which no doubt is easiest.
Then at least one problem is solved, even if its the least hard one to sort out.

A spacer of some sort is needed to sort out the sensor bracket.. shouldn't be that hard to make.
Shame the 'Specialist Component* guys dont seem able to do so :roll:
Trigger wheel position... think i'll have to stop by as want to see that 'live'

So the MED damper is for sale http://www.theminiforum.co.uk/forums/to ... er-damper/ (120 with free postage). it just won't work with my set up.


So bits and pieces that i need are trickling in. Some pipe fittings on the oil drains on the rear.

Bild


And then the filter housing

Bild

Waiting in a biggish delivery from minispares for bits and bobs and some hoses from car builder solutions.

In the mean time i have tidied up the engine bay wiring a bit with some conduit and p brackets (pics to come) ands fitted some rivets in various places.

That is about it for this update. Sweden played Ireland tonight and i had to replace the pads on the rear of my audi a4 which seized on on friday.

Scary:

Postman arrived today:

Lots of silly parts you don't really budget for in a build (gaskets, fasteners, clips etc)

To clear the cam belt you need to take of the some of the web of the water pump, the SC guide also states to shave the some material of the top of the water pump to clear the head, I trial fitted my pump and it fitted fine, so no need.

Bild

Bild


Pump fitted! feels like things are coming together.

Bild


Next up was fitting the radiator sensor to the "chinese" alloy rad, I did have fears that it wouldn't fit, since the communication with the seller was a little unclear. but it fitted perfectly.

Bild

When I ordered the Kit from SC i ordered their hose kit. I am not sure how the pipe from water pump to bottom radiator fit, but I guess it will become more apparent when i have the rad fitted. Basically the pipes must intertwine but I am not sure which way. Also there might be clearance issues so i fuss i need to trim the pipes a little.

After you finally get that beast in, are you fitting a roll cage or do you have one already fitted in the car?

No roll cage: I could not decide if they were safer or not.

Sure they are good in certain accidents and situations. But at other times they are another thing to hit your head on in a collision.

Added the nut on the jackshaft pulley. It is just the standard half nut normally used on the camshaft (though on the other end? if i understand correctly.)

it was tough to torque it up since i had to hold onto the pulley with one hand and the wrench with the other. It is tight, but anyone know how tight it should be?

Bild

Started wrapping the manifold i have little more to do but I ran out of the stainless ties i was using. It wasn't the easiest thing too do, but I think it is pretty neat. if anyone is doing this wear gloves and long sleeves, my hands are really itchy as i type.

FInally all the unions and cables on for the oil drain

So I offered up my old alternator tonight and while there is a chance it will fit, it doesn't look great. A new small Denso Nippon alternator ordered.

Other than that I have bolted on the new clutch slave:

Seems the water pump pulley will rub on the oil hose (which runs from the block to the head), Is there smaller diameter pulley in the market?

Bild

Plans for tomorrow are to install the MPI fuel pump into my SPI tank.
