I've completed my 1098 engine rebuild and had the idea of running the engine out of the car thus searching for oil leaks etc.
I didn't want to connect a water supply at this stage.

Is this a good idea?

If so how long would you say would be safe without damaging the newly built engine?

Colin

Thanks for the comprehensive supply

Chaps I've just about completed my first 1098 engine rebuild and have purchased a refurb end rocker cover. You can see my predicament the rocker cover had a breather to the carb and the tappet chest cover also has a breather. What do you recommend please . Regards Colin[frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbi...

Guys

You are all worth your weight in gold .

Colin

That's fantastic

Thank you, I just didn't want to replace the engine and find out it was way out of timing.


Colin

Thanks mate

That's what I thought. They appear to be self anchoring with pressure from the print but wasn't quite sure.

I'm rebuilding my 1098 and have got to the distributor drive insertion. The workshop manual appears to contradictive it says insert with the larger segment uppermost then it says insert with larger segment to the bottom.

Do any real engineers know which way it fits please?

Hi chaps

I'm currently refurbishing my 1098 engine and after having the head and valves done I've list the collett spring clips.

Have you any ideas on alternatives as these are hard to come by.

Thanks

Colin

Cheers once again my friend that answers my question

Colin

I've fitted a duplex timing chain together with new cogs. I've countersunk the two studs which would foul the crank cog. I think I've done everything ok but. After I fit the oil thrower and felt washer the timing cover appears to too shallow to fit. Ant advice would be very welcome. Colin[frame] htt...
