oil cooler is good as vaux fitted one as std so i guess it is needed.

as long as the cooling system is in good condition i see no reason for it to overheat

looking good man
like them wheels ya had on her

new oil pressure sensor, and has a take off for my oil pressure gauge



and drivers side, driveshaft, lower arm, and balljoint all replaced, and painted the tie rod

where can i find the oil pressure valve in mine

i think a new oil pump is needed but want to to a pressure test first

that valve is about £50

and screws into the back of the block replacing the single pin one thasts there already

i just want to check my pressure in the x14 to see if it needs a new pump

right todays progress,

strip the timing side down


good job as the water pump was hammerd


all bolted back together


and i made a custom alternator bracket, i think it may move under load so ill weld it aswell to be sure

right this morning, despite being freezing
i made my catch tank fit the car, neatly,



will need a breather filter aswell, it has a drain too thats routed to where the bumper will be
also toruqed up the driveshaft, will possibly do the other side later,




after pissing around with various ideas on the alternator belt catching the bracket

i have filed down the edge of the bracket a few mm, then spaced it away from the block a few mm, and it seems to have worked.

the belt is mega close when fitted, i may put a shorter belt on but it has about 3mm of clearence and is tight

new fan,

fitted my breather filter



fitted my fan



then it all went wrong, got paint and dirt on me, bloody old shaft woulnt come out, could't get the split pin throu the hub

but

removed old lower arm and balljoint



and painted the tie rod, fitted new lower arm and balljoint and new driveshaft

todays jobs, finally found and modded fabricated enough pipes and bits of steel pipe etc with the correct step up and downs to sort the crankcase breather system properly around the inlet.
so many times ive seen this bodged so i did my best to do it properly



then i fitted the exhaust, its not sitting right at all, so will need adjusting when im in a better mood



and i rubbed down and slapped a coat of paint on the rear arb. then fitted it. "while it was wet as it started to rain, bolted it down and thats all i got done

looks good to me..ur doing alot more work to it then i plan for mine lol-u seem to know your stuff though mate

fitted strut brace the carbs temporary to check clearence,



next up is fire extinguisher and battery, re-fit exhaust. and front arb

fair play buddy good gob keep it up
